With Adam Schlesinger's untimely passing from COVID-19 in 2020, the IVY trio neverthought there would be another album. But the band had actually been storing a largetrove of unfinished songs and demos in a Rhode Island storage locker dating back totheir beginnings. In 2023, while prepping the recent vinyl releases of their catalog, AndyChase and Dominique Durand took a trip to Rhode Island and listened to the tapes theyhad left there all those years ago; tapes labeled with notes like InchAdam's Wacky Idea 1997Inch,InchStupid Cat 2005Inch or InchThis one might be good for Shallow Hal.InchThe pair, along with their longtime friend Bruce Driscoll (Freedom Fry), decided to returnto the studio and flesh out the bones of those recordings. While they would never feelright about putting out an album under the IVY moniker without Adam, they realized theydidn't have to. Adam had already written and recorded his parts - he is on every song.The trio also enlisted friends that had been involved with making Ivy's records throughthe years to join them in the studio to bring these songs to life.Traces of You encapsulates everything that we love and have always loved about Ivy.Could there be more to come? (Yes, there could.) Album Tracks 1. Midnight Hour 2. Fragile People 3. Mystery Girl 4. Traces of You 5. The Great Unknown 6. Say You Will 7. Heartbreak 8. Lose It All 9. Wasting Time 10. Hate That It's True
