This Is Ivy League – The Richest Kids

In a world without Belle & Sebastian (or Acid House Kings if you are especially tuned in) this band would reign supreme. That world doesn’t exist so This Is Ivy League should at least be considered esteemed underlings. Chew on this ditty, the opener from their 2008 eponymous debut, and you’ll see what I mean. It really is quite perfect; vocals drift by like finely tailored butterflies with only the jangle of a floating armada of honeybees to divert attention. The duo of Ryland Blackinton and Alex Suarez and their label have been quite of late so let’s hope they are charming the furniture in their home studio. Would be a shame given B&S have also slipped from view. KD
