Details: Amazon.ca As the story goes, Ivy's singer Dominique Durand left her native France to move to New York City to better her English. Shortly after, she joined some fellow musicians, and voilá--the loss of the French is everybody's gain. Ivy take the breezy melodic structure of the Mamas and the Papas, kick in some Style Council-esque horns, add some of their own sense of style, and create one pop gem after another in the process. Apartment Life brims with Ivy's sophisticated songs: "The Best Thing," "I Get the Message," and "This Is the Day" all swing with a continental flair. But don't be fooled, this is not a sugar-soaked cache by any means. Durand's cynicism is front and center on "Quick, Painless, & Easy," showing the band doesn't live in a rose-tinted world. Their music just sounds that way. --Steve Gdula
