More Info:
With Adam Schlesinger's untimely passing from COVID-19 in 2020, the IVY trio neverthought there would be another album. But the band had actually been storing a largetrove of unfinished songs and demos in a Rhode Island storage locker dating back totheir beginnings. In 2023, while prepping the recent vinyl releases of their catalog, AndyChase and Dominique Durand took a trip to Rhode Island and listened to the tapes theyhad left there all those years ago; tapes labeled with notes like "Adam's Wacky Idea 1997","Stupid Cat 2005" or "This one might be good for Shallow Hal."The pair, along with their longtime friend Bruce Driscoll (Freedom Fry), decided to returnto the studio and flesh out the bones of those recordings. While they would never feelright about putting out an album under the IVY moniker without Adam, they realized theydidn't have to. Adam had already written and recorded his parts - he is on every song.The trio also enlisted friends that had been involved with making Ivy's records throughthe years to join them in the studio to bring these songs to life.Traces of You encapsulates everything that we love and have always loved about Ivy.Could there be more to come? (Yes, there could.)
