Overall the result is a sound composed of layers of reverb-soaked tracks, upon which soothing vocals are lain gently on top. Beautiful, in other words.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Pheremones&#8217; is The Ivy Walls&#8217; fourth album, and it&#8217;s possibly their most ambitious so far. They set out to write a 90s New York-inspired set of cold wave songs, but instead they found in the writing process, the album evolved into a &#8220;sonic version of what it&#8217;s like to live in and love in this Lord Of The Flies environment.&#8221; Sinister sounding, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First track is the dreamy &#8216;White Ocean&#8217;, with the band sharing lead vocals with frequent collaborator, Chrissy Depauw. Lines about slipping away and hearts growing hold pull the listener in; the song is without a doubt a sad one, but the overall sound is lushly compelling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for &#8216;White Ocean&#8217; features Chris Pine, a famous friend the band has made along the way, as well as actress Emma McKie. Pine, who&#8217;s best known for playing James T Kirk in the Star Trek reboot series, already starred in The Ivy Walls&#8217; previous clip for &#8216;All I Want&#8217;. Directed by Michael Donovan, the &#8216;White Ocean&#8217; video sees Pine and McKie, in the words of Luca Magazine, &#8220;held together in a sea of sound by the walls of the old Harvard House Motel.&#8221; It&#8217;s stark and somber, but just like the song itself, unswervingly holds your attention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out The Ivy Walls on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theivywalls.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, as well as their <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theivywalls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/theivywalls, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theivywalls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theivywalls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> accounts. &#8216;Pheremones&#8217; is avaible to stream and download from <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/6K5ymYO2auh1Allq2ZUt2z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/pheromones\/1264873469\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_64406\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AJtoldkolTE?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"The Ivy Walls - White Ocean\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/AJtoldkolTE\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synth rock band The Ivy Walls have been a staple in the Downtown area of Los Angeles for the past decade, endearing themselves not just to music fans, but also to the famous and celebs as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":42058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9,640],"tags":[17598,2765,17602,27,17603,17604,144,77,370,1945,17599,17600,442,17601],"class_list":["post-42056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-releases","category-videos","tag-chris-pine","tag-chrissy-depauw","tag-emma-mckie","tag-los-angeles","tag-luca-magazine","tag-michael-donovan","tag-new-album","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-pheremones","tag-the-ivy-walls","tag-trance","tag-white-ocean"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-aWk","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":81921,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2023\/05\/devil-is-the-angsty-new-single-from-london-based-singer-songwriter-mik-ivy\/","url_meta":{"origin":42056,"position":0},"title":"&#8216;DEVIL&#8217; Is The Angsty New Single From London Based Singer-Songwriter, Mik Ivy","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"30\/05\/2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Originally from Geneva, Switzerland, Mik Ivy now makes his base in London.
