"Ivory Fields, made up of musicians Ale Cohen and Mahadev, gift a universe into the listener’s inviting ears at the perfect time. Powered by synth-driven glory, it is pure unusual musical candy.
"One feels comfortably out of place with their sound, but relishes the change of pace. With the release of their debut self-titled album, these musicians are ready to grab a hold of the wave."
Thanks to Myles Hunt at Impose for the kind words!

Here's a thing I would like to proclaim: I love this album and 97.89% of the human population agrees with me (and the rest don't listen to music.) That's pretty good, right?!
Here's what AllMusic is saying about the latest High Water Marks album:
"Catchy, affectionate pop... a skill that's front and center. Even diversions into noise and darker corners charm on a set that never loses its spark."
Out now on Minty Fresh!
“To have two stellar albums appear in such a short period of time is remarkable,” proclaims Aiding & Abetting of Proclaimer of Things, the new album from The High Water Marks, out now via Minty Fresh.
The Norway-based band featuring Hilarie Sidney (co-founder of the Elephant 6 Recording Co. and The Apples In Stereo) has made an album with “enough joy to warm just about anything or anyone.”
It took quite a few months, but Tankboy has finally published a list of favorite 2020 records. Of course, it’s hard to blame anyone for dragging their feet after a year like last year. “The only real mental metric I could apply was that these were albums I could reliably turn to that made me feel during a period of time when I wasn't certain I could feel at all, or ever again,” writes the blogger.
Among these is The High Water Marks, who released Ecstasy Rhymes last year and are slated to return with a new LP in 2022. “The heart of the band is frontperson Hilarie Sidney. You may recognizer that name,” Tankboy notes, “if you're familiar with The Apples In Stereo through her years with that band, but she takes center stage and dishes out a ton of sharp indie rock-n-pop tunes over the duration of Ecstasy Rhymes. A little burst of sunshine that helped me get through the year.”
In a thoughtful review that evokes The Doors, Nick Cave, Gato Loco, and “The Dap Kings at their darkest,” New York Music Daily dives into J Hacha de Zola’s new LP, writing that the just-released East of Eden “really captures the grim uncertainty of the world.”
