Iron Mountain: Vinyl LP

Label: Scenic Route Records
Release Date: 15th May

Always enjoy an American country and folk sound that feels like a ghost from an America that never quite happened, a gothic and cinematic sense of foreboding, a shadowy cabin, a constant figure on a rocking chair on a front porch. There's a hollow brightness to this record as Ivy coos whilst darkness broods in the background. 

Today, Oakland-raised and Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Ivy Knight announces her debut album Iron Mountain, set for release on 15 May via Scenic Route.

Ivy Knight’s songs reflect a city dreamer creating a new world to sink into: across Iron Mountain, she conjures imagery of barren Southwest American landscapes as she recounts memories that feel beamed from generations past, channeling folk melodies and old trail ballads of the late 50s and early 60s.

Much of her work has been created both within, and in reference to the Hudson Valley, where she met frequent collaborator Deer park (fakemink, Ecco2k, evilgiane) who produced and engineered.

Her latest single ‘Headlamp’ follows last month’s single ‘Swimming In Blood’, and her recent collaboration with Deer park, ‘Black Cat’, which received support from The Face, The FADER, Pigeons & Planes, NME, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, So Young + more.
