Ivy Interview with Mike Tietjen
Ivy is a three-piece band consisting of the husband/wife team of Andy Chase and Dominique Durand, along with Adam Schlesinger, who also happens to be a singer/songwriter for the Fountains of Wayne. Although they sometimes appear eclipsed by Schlesinger’s other outfit, Ivy has a well-regarded reputation among critics, including me. Thoughtful arrangements, intelligent production, and the exquisite voice of Ms. Durand combine for a very classy collection of songs that should not be overlooked.
Recently, a friend and sometime contributor to the ‘American Hit Radio’ program named Mike Tietjen had the opportunity to interview Andy and Dominique for his own radio program. Unfortunately, Mike’s program aired at 4:00 A.M., which means that the interview went largely unheard. Therefore, for those who may be interested, here is Mike’s interview in its entirety, along with a few selected tracks by the band.

Is it just me? I had never heard of Ivy. I am surprised too, because I LOVE the Fountains of Wayne. I think there must be a lot of music you guys hear over there on the right coast that we never hear. When I visited last month I noticed that you have much better radio than we do over here. We are 100% corporate crapola. I wonder what, if anything, we hear over hear that you don't.
This interview was great to listen to -- there were about half a dozen Ivy songs here and all were beautiful. I really like the sound. Here's how I would describe it: Take Morcheeba's liquid silky smooth style and add a healthy dash of Brazilian pop music's sunny optimism.
I just surfed over to Amazon and bought their latest. It looks like they have quite a few albums, so somebody here help me out. I can't afford to buy their whole catalog, so what should I buy?
