| The Review: |
There is something in the water running through Tyler Texas. A recent hotbed of great music and Ivoryline is next in line as they introduce their sophomore Tooth and Nail release. Since 2003 and through different band members, and different band names we have arrived at their biggest release to-date, Vessels. With this release you get the distinct impression that the couple years between albums were not frivolously spent.
They launch an assault from track one and the barrage does not stop. When the record stopped playing after track 13 I wanted more. This is not an album that each song sounds the same or even resembles the previous, and in fact this album is even different from their previous records. They are an ever evolving and new band.
Without a doubt track 13 “You Bring Fire” is the best. Jeremy Gray’s lead vocals are haunting and the melody is fantastic. Indeed throughout the whole album the vocals in the melody and harmony are outstanding. The guitar riffs are endless and very well mixed and add a deeper level to each song. The rhythm section is steady and drives this album to perfection. The more I listen to this album the more I am impressed with their individual talents.
What you get when you listen to Ivoryline is purity in music. You get the feeling that there is no autotune, no 24 layer tracks, and no “guest” musicians. You get Ivoryline and you get all of them. What you hear on the album is what you hear when you go to a live event…four band mates playing their guts out.
