   About Ivan & Alyosha
Ivan & Alyosha got together in 2007, playing their first show at Chop Suey in Seattle on July 2nd of 07. Taking roughly a year to write & record their debut EP, The Verse, The Chorus the boys got to spend a few weeks in Los Angeles tracking with Producer Eli Thomson (Richard Swift, Delta Spirit, Sylvie Lewis) & drummer Frank Lenz (Starflyer 59, The Headphones, Richard Swift) in October of 2007. Spending 6 more months on the record, mixing at Avast! 2 in Seattle, then mastering by T.W. Walsh in Boston. The EP will be released two weeks from yesterday on February 24th via Cheap Lullaby Records. "Ivan & Alyosha have flown a bit under the radar in the Seattle music scene, quietly unveiling The Verse, The Chorus, a brilliant seven-song EP recorded and self-released by the duo earlier this summer. The band hits a sweet spot of anglophilic pop (swaggering tracks that skate between T Rex and Travis—imagine “Driftwood” with less drama and more handclaps. Pure! Pop! Gold!) Jangling guitars and brief spots of falsetto are here throughout. “Easy to Love,” though, is the unlikely hit, slowly appearing with a muted stomp and a simple acoustic guitar strum, radiating a simple beauty as the line “You’re really easy to love” is repeated over and over again. Then the song disappears just as seemlessly. Along with the Tacoma’s always purple-lit Mono in VCF, who headlined Ivan & Alyosha’s EP release, there seems to be a new Northwest Anglo-pop invasion comin’ on." -Mark Baumgarten, Seattle Sound Magazine
