Check Out Grace Ives Latest Single

This single from Grace Ives has been floating around for a few days, but as I circle back on it, I can’t help but be impressed with the song and its structure. For one, the beat behind Ives’ voice is operating at driving speed; it’s quick, almost IDM-esque…giving the musical element some sort of industrial sterility. But, on top sits Grace and her vocals. They have carry this deep tone, heavy in its emotional presentation, but supported by a lighter backing vocal that sort of lifts the song up. The music and the voice are diametrically opposed, yet the somehow find themselves interlocked, weaving an emotional black hole that sucks you inside. If you dig it, 2nd will be next Monday on Dots Per Inch.
