IVY Set to Release New Album This Fall; First Single, "Distant Lights" Out Jun. 7

IVY will release their long-awaited fifth studio album this fall, title/release date TBA, on Nettwerk Records. The upcoming release -- written, produced and mixed by the band in their own Manhattan studio -- is their first in six years and the follow up to 2005’s critically acclaimed In The Clear. Fans will get a taste of the new album when Ivy releases their first single, “Distant Lights,” on June 7, 2011.
