Ivy Falls, the alias of singer-songwriter Fien Deman, released her first full album earlier this year, on 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, made 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.'
Water is the final chapter of this live session Ivy Falls recorded last Spring. One of the songs that they really wanted to play was Water. It’s a special one as it’s some sort of dialogue between a younger version of Fien and her current self. Something we might all experience at one point.
Ivy Falls is playing this autumn, see below for tickets and info.
