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 ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
