Holmes Ives

Holmes Ives transcends boundaries. His haunting melodies and beats — sometimes driving, sometimes hypnotic — are unconstrained by genre. Ives exploded onto the international electronic music stage in 2005 with his chart-topping single “8 Letters,” featuring Avalon Frost. He followed up that success with releases at Renaissance, Shinichi, Bedrock, and Yoshitoshi, while simultaneously creating his In Love & Light series, in which he collaborated with dozens of musicians in a wide range of styles — Persian classical, Celtic roots, Hindi pop, Afro-Cuban, Sephardic, and more. Out now: "Lovely Wicked Thing," Ives’s foray into shadowy alt-pop with Jette Kelly.
