Unsung Band, Episode One: Ivy

Ivy were a great pop band that started in the mid 90's, but have a new album due nest year. The best way I can describe them is unhurried. I mean that in a good way. Every band I like, I enjoy for different reasons and for different moods. Ivy hold a special place...just great pop songs for chilling out to. Not pop as in radio-friendly crap shoved down your ear canals by commercial radio, but reminiscent of 60's pop, although with a 70's vibe. With the main songwriter from Fountains of Wayne (themselves writers of fine pop songs with a more urgent pace) and the fluid vocals of French singer Dominique Durand...you are destined to be spellbound. Enjoy, my top five Ivy tunes:
