Ivy have often flirted with an electronic approach over the years, but 2011's All Hours finds the trio delving into the more electronic-pop end of their sound and coming up with a cool, late-night club affair. Still featuring the talents of vocalist Dominique Durand, along with guitarist/songwriter Adam Schlesinger and multi-instrumentalist Andy Chase, All Hours follows up 2005's In the Clear. Where that album was a slick if still airy mix of melodic guitar pop, here we get the more detached electronica of such songs as "Fascinated," "Lost in the Sun," and "She Really Got to You." With Durand's stylish vocal remove and Schlesinger and Chase's knack for catchy pop moments, there is a lot to enjoy here. Ultimately, All Hours evinces a kind of stylish, early-'80s disco-meets-new wave vibe. ~ Matt Collar
