Ivy St. – ‘There’s A Whole Lot More That Waits’ (mp3)

Listen to

This track landed in my inbox trailing a cloud of recent critical acclaim. While this song itself is pretty cool, the sticking point is definitely in the vocals. Thomas Hyland’s idiosyncratic shrieks land somewhere between classic English post-punk and The Drones’ Garreth Liddiard, which is largely a good thing. It’s quite horrible, yes, but in the best way. It makes the rest of the raw track compelling.

Despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I’ve not yet heard the rest of their album Picture Machine. I’m thinking I’ll wait until my expectations have subsided a bit. ‘There’s A Whole Lot More That Waits’ makes me look forward to it even more, which is pretty much exactly what a lead/blog-serviced single should do. So good call.
