Ivy. Dominique Durand on vocals, a Parisian who moved to New York to study English, with New York musicians Andy Chase and the late Adam Schlesinger. They formed the trio in 1994. Lush, breathy dream pop. 'The Best Thing' opens their second album, Apartment Life (Atlantic, October 6th, 1997), and it was the lead single. Guests on the album include Lloyd Cole, James Iha, Dean Wareham and Chris Botti. And get this: another song off it, 'This Is the Day', is in the Farrelly brothers' There's Something About Mary (1998) and on its soundtrack. Schlesinger died in April 2020. Chase and Durand finished Traces of You (2025) from archived material.
