Ivy Falls, the alias of singer-songwriter Fien Deman, will release her first full album next week, March 22. 'Sense & Nonsense' sounds mature, with a clear vision and direction. Fien wrote the album after a breakup and leaving her home; she witnessed cracks appearing in her life and found herself in a whirlpool of insecurities. Writing turned out to be the way to reorient herself and discover what she could fill her empty 'house' with. Everything changed: a new life, a new place, new people, and a new view of herself as a musician and writer. Bram Vanparys, aka The Bony King of Nowhere, makes his debut as a producer on Ivy Falls' first release. This unreleased duo impresses with 'the best coda for the confusing time that your twenties can be.'
In anticipation of the album's release, Ivy Falls drops a live session, filmed by filmmaker Jeffrey Roekens. In this live session, Ivy Falls plays as a 5-man band for the first time. Recorded in the outskirts of Ghent, on a somewhat hidden estate, the band plays 4 tracks of the new album. The first session is released now.
The band consists of Simon Raman (Steiger, Mos Ensemble), Trui Amerlinck (Tsar B, Nabou), Jasper Morel (Black Box Revelation) and newcomer Anton De Boes (Philemon).
