Single Focus: Ivey

More Ivey Ivey

Answered by: Lachlan McGuffie

Single title: Last Week

What's the song about? Last Week is about falling in love quickly, scarily and beautifully. 

How long did it take to write/record? This song took twenty minutes to write, but we really focused in on the recording, implementing a live feel to the song but trying to keep that Ivey sound our fans are familiar with.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? The track for now is a single, although in 2017 we do have plans to release a larger body of work.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? A lot of things really, mainly my emotive state at the time, however I was also looking heavily into other people's relationships and using that as a storytelling device too.

We'll like this song if we like... You'll like this song if you ever fallen in love, if you like Ivey, and if you like Britpop.

Do you play it differently live? Not at all, and that was exactly our point with this song. We wanted to create and record a song that sounded like our live show.

When and where is your launch/next gig? Our next show is in Sydney on 25 Nov, from there we head to Wollongong, Brisbane and then a hometown show on the Gold Coast to finish.
