Listen to In the Clear, Full CD

"Take an ultra-cool French woman named Dominique Durand. Add pop maestro and Fountains of Wayne member Adam Schlesinger and set on puree: yummy! The sophisticated retro-pop sound, dreamy melodies and soft electronic beats of Ivy do more to further international relations than any George W. Bush visit could ever hope to. Slip into something comfortable and drift off to the touch of wah-wah on the smoky "Keep Moving." "Tess Don't Tell" should prick up the ears of any self-respecting Saint Etienne fan. And the fun and funky "Thinking About You" will leave you waving your beret in the air. C'est totally sweet.. " E!

"It's refined and focused, but also sexy and intimate. " All Music Guide

"It'll remind you of St. Etienne" Entertainment Weekly

"The growing, if belated, popularity of Ivy is a happy event. Over the course of a half-dozen releases, the band has married slightly trippy atmospherics to immaculate popcraft and the melancholy vocals of Paris-born Dominique Durand. In the Clear, their fifth album, finds the guitars occasionally louder (they roil and distort on the kiss-off "Clear My Head") but the mood essentially the same. It’s a romantic, cautiously hopeful one, exemplified by the disc’s closing "Feel So Free." Special and secretive--"Tess Don’t Tell" repeatedly insists "It’s just for you, it’s not for anybody else"--In the Clear thrives on trademark Ivy contradictions and, now and then, an unexpected noise in the corners of the sound. --Rickey Wright " Amazon.com

You gotta be kidding me.

Am I like...the only person who even knows who they are? :razz:
