Recording history

Lately and Realistic

Realistic LP, released in 1995.
Realistic LP, released in 1995.

Ivy was formed in 1994 when multi-instrumentalists Andy Chase and Adam Schlesinger convinced Parisian born Dominique Durand, who had never before sung in a group, to venture into a New York studio and record a four-song tape with them. Dominique, who moved to New York City from Paris in 1990, first met Andy at a party, where he was playing with his previous band. She told him that his band was "not [her] cup of tea". The two became involved in a romantic relationship, which lasts to the present day. Three years later, Andy and Dominique wrote a song, and asked Adam to play bass on demo. Adam persuaded Andy and Dominique to write more together, which eventually resulted in a five-song demo. Image File history File links Ivyrealistic. ...

They followed that single with an EP Lately (released on Seed), and then on February 14, 1995 released their debut full-length Realistic, which – although raw compared to their later work - hinted at the melodic sophistication and emphasis on production detail that would follow.

On their second full-length album, Apartment Life (released October 6, 1997 on Atlantic), Ivy hit its stride, introducing richer arrangements and a wider palette of sounds, while at the same time taking their songcraft to a new level.

Long Distance, their third LP, was released in July 10, 2001 on Nettwerk, and won the group an even wider audience both at home and abroad. The album was released on November 8, 2000 in Japan, which is seven months prior to US release, and included one bonus track "It's All in Your Mind".

On Long Distance, lush soundscapes and dense rhythm tracks were brought to the fore, and bouncy pop songs were outnumbered by moodier, more atmospheric songs like the standout single "Edge Of The Ocean". The latter along with "Lucy Doesn't Love You" got both videos and single releases.


By this time, the band had also had found success on both the big and small screens (scoring the Farrelly BrothersShallow Hal, as well as having their songs featured prominently in numerous films and television shows). Chase and Schlesinger had also begun to receive attention for their work outside the band: Chase produced the debut album by French pop group Tahiti 80, which was a hit in many countries and led to subsequent production work with several other groups; Schlesinger’s "other" band, Fountains Of Wayne, released two critically acclaimed records, and he also received an Oscar nomination for his title song to Tom Hanks' film That Thing You Do!

Ivy released the Guestroom album on September 10, 2002 on Minty Fresh, an album containing ten of the group's favorite cover songs. Picking from several different eras, they reveal some of their sources of inspiration, and also display their ability to reinterpret many different types of songs in their own distinct way. Five of the ten songs on Guestroom were recorded during one solid line of sessions in New York. The remaining five tracks were recorded at different times over the course of Ivy’s career, but have for the most part been difficult to find, having been released only on limited-edition singles, compilations, or soundtracks. On Guestroom, the band moves easily between decades and countries, jumping from 80’s classics like The Cure's "Let's Go to Bed" and the House Of Love's "I Don't Know Why I Love You" to Steely Dan's "Only A Fool Would Say That" and then over to Serge Gainsbourg's "L'Anamour" (which previously could be found as a b-side on "I've Got a Feeling" single); from The Ronnettes' early 1960s classic "Be My Baby" to Papas Fritas' late 1990s gem "Say Goodbye".

When starting sessions for In The Clear, the band tried to strike a balance between the immediacy of their early recordings and the careful sonic detailing of their more recent work. "Initially we talked about going back to more of a live band sound," explains Schlesinger, "but of course that wouldn’t have taken long enough." Image File history File links Intheclear. ... Image File history File links Intheclear. ...


Chase elaborates, "We tried to capture the excitement of just playing together - on guitar or piano and drums – first. We would put down lots of raw, spontaneous ideas, and then the three of us would flesh them out over time, constantly adding or taking things away, but always trying to retain that initial energy." This method, while common for some bands, represented a totally new approach for Ivy, who in the past had written almost exclusively outside the studio; on In The Clear, the writing and recording processes often blended together.


Not every idea held up over time, or ultimately met Ivy’s songwriting standards. "There were some musical ideas that we really loved, but sometimes they didn’t fit the direction we were going or we couldn’t turn them into complete songs that I was comfortable singing," says Durand. "But many came together very quickly".


The 10 songs on In The Clear vary in tempo and mood, and yet the record has a sense of continuity that is never lost - from the slow crescendo of the introductory "Nothing But The Sky" through visceral pop songs like "Thinking About You", "Tess Don't Tell" (with James Iha on lead guitar) and "I've Got You Memorized" to slinkier, subtler tracks like "Four In The Morning", "Ocean City Girl" and "Keep Moving". Many lyrics suggest internal narratives more than straightforward storytelling; themes of secrecy, isolation and escape resurface throughout the album. James Yoshinobu Iha (Japanese: 井葉吉伸, Iha Yoshinobu or ジェームス・イハ, Jēmusu Iha) born March 26, 1968 in Chicago, Illinois, USA) is an American rock musician. ...


Ivy brought in legendary UK producer/mixer Steve Osborne (New Order, Happy Mondays, Starsailor, Elbow) for his first-ever New York sessions to mix much of the record. It was Osborne's ability to make records sound both aggressive and spacious that attracted the group to his work.

In The Clear also features guest appearances by friends like guitarists James Iha, Jody Porter (Fountains Of Wayne), Brazilian string arranger Zé Luis (Bebel Gilberto, Caetano Veloso), and former Girls Against Boys frontman Scott McLoud, who duets with Durand on the closing track "Feel So Free". James Yoshinobu Iha (Japanese: 井葉吉伸, Iha Yoshinobu or ジェームス・イハ, JÄ“musu Iha) born March 26, 1968 in Chicago, Illinois, USA) is an American rock musician. ...
