' '
,: Grace Ives never pursued music in the traditional sense like :,
: many of her peers. Instead, it followed her like a common thread :
:' that connected her various dwellings over the past few years. ':
,: Whether living in Brooklyn with her parents, or in Baltimore :,
: while briefly studying at MICA, or the three years following at :
:' SUNY Purchase, Grace made music irrespective of setting or ':
,: ambition. She made pop songs inspired by the sounds of Brittany :,
: Spears and Rihanna while surrounded by ôpunk-erö friends in :
:' Maryland, bought and MC 505 to emulate the sound of MIA while ':
,: surrounded by guitar noodling when the cult of Mitski still :,
: loomed large over the SUNY Purchase campus, and opened so many :
:' shows to audiences of one, maybe two, that she cannot even ':
,: think to count. But along the way she won people over, almost :,
: literally one-by-one, until audiences began to grow in number. :
:' Now, living in Astoria, Queens, Ives regularly leaves home with ':
,: a blue Ikea bag full of her musical equipment to play shows all :,
: over the metro areaùto audiences of increasingly insatiable :
:' fans. ':
,: :,
: As for her writing process, her melodic ideas simply do not :
:' leave her alone. She is always singing. Much of her work stems ':
,: from simple and relatable nuggets of experience. It is almost as :,
: if putting her thoughts to a melody are a way of processing the :
:' world as she sees it unfold around her. These humble origins of ':
,: her ridiculously catchy songs are, she says, result of a ôkeep :,
: it simple, stupidö approach, one that she pulls off with the :
:' fire-y confidence of artists such as Bratmobile or Minutemen. ':
,: :,
: As Grace would have it: ôIÆm a man of few words, or just the :
:' same words over and over again. Everything about me is very ':
,: laid back, my music is just supposed to be fun, danceable. I :,
: write songs so that they get stuck in peopleÆs heads. I follow a :
:' formula. Butterfly is two notes, Mansion is six. IÆm trying to ':
,: keep it minimal, just so I can get this idea out and listen to :,
: it. I just try to crank these out, not so I can do something :
:' else, like sleep, drink, or go to a party, but so I can do ':
,: more. IÆm relatable, I shop on a budget, IÆm your friend, and I :,
: want to write songs for youà to dance to. And IÆm a great cookùI :
:' make a killer bolognese.ö ':
