Who: Ivan & Alyosha
What: Truly stunning indie-folk
Where: From Seattle
Why: Oh, so lovely. It’s soaring but feels, at the same time, very earthy. The layered vocals on “Glorify”, at least) are incredibly delicate but weighty – I actually want to listen to what these guys have to say. I’ve only had the chance to hear this one track fully and quickly sample tracks from their last release – I’m more intrigued by this newer song, but I definitely want to hear more. I’m probably way behind the times on this one since they’ve already done the SXSW thing and been endorsed by NPR, but I don’t care, I’m just glad to have heard them at all.
When: Ivan & Alyosha’s debut EP, “The Verse, The Chorus”, was released last year (I think – there’s some conflicting information available on that point). “Glorify” (below) is a teaser track for their upcoming 2nd EP, “Fathers Be Kind”, will be out on Missing Piece Records, February 1st, 2011.
