This band hardly exists for two years and yet they released a full-length as a follow-up to last year's Julia EP. In a year much can change. Both creatively and music wise this is a jump forward for the band. Ivory Tower contains solid songs, written with nice hooks and a variety of emo rock and more poppy tracks. One of the songs that got my attention is the heavy rock 'n roll song Superficial. The majority of the songs isn't that heavy. In fact, this is a real mellow emo product that's quite relaxing. Ariel Björklund (member of Minus SF & Callisto) signed for the production and he did his job well. Here and there some cello, grand piano and harp were added as well as programming to embellish the songs. Some of the lyrics on this album are quite clear (Stockholm), others are cryptic (Zebras On The Wall). Sometimes you have to dig deeper to get the meaning. Anyway, Ivory Tower contains some well crafted, beautiful songs if you want to chill out.
