♫ Ivvvo - With You
I would emerge, full of vigor and lust, at the silent, pitch black hours of night. Engulfed in flames, I would watch my beloved writhe and wiggle in vicious glee. My eyes, fixated in frustrated adoration, would intently watch you change shapes. The wanton vixen, the engorged pig, the frail imp - dancing carefree and shameless before me. Fully aware that this unison was only temporary, I became silently enraged - uncomfortable, anxious, and despondent. Forever vexed to observe you from afar - until that glorious, golden bell thundered and roared - relieving me from my libertine desires. Autonomous archfiend. Mephistophelic martyr - sacrificed for my rampant, lustful proclivity.
Filled with snaps, booming distortion, and impish pitch-shifted vocals, Ivvvo’s ep, “Her”, is a gorgeous, engaging entry to the darker electronic genre. Samples, often stretched and contorted beyond recognition, writhe and drift alongside the muted nebular, thundering bass lines. The gentle, stuttering reassurances nudge and pull - tugging at your reservations - hoping you abandon your worldly ties and become inundated with Hadic indulgence. Like slipping into the tenebrous tides - adrift in caliginous waters.

♫ IVVVO - Always Been You
As my heart breaks in two, I struggle to maintain my composure. Unable to let people in, I had willingly, eagerly opened the door. Gone was the apprehension, the doubt that I held on to so tightly. You were my beacon of joy, my salvation from solitude. If others were misunderstanding, you were the one to fully understand me. Comforting, when I was on the verge of tears, clenched fists when I was on the brink of madness - you were my emotions personified. Slowly, you began to withdraw. You were nowhere to be found. Those loving, giving hands were no longer in my view. All I could do was watch from afar - you offer your words of solace to someone else. The supportive, adoring remarks which were once reserved for me - now showered upon other entities. Lost in the dark, I realized I no longer had you as my shining light. If I reached out for you, your presence would vanish instantly - ungiving, unoffering, unreachable. And once again, I find myself alone - incomplete. Isolated individual - forsaken and forgotten. Absent ally - crumbling companionship.
Slow, drudged out work from IVVVO - the sound of heartbreak. That stabbing, aching pull that forces you to recall the loving memories you so wish you were over. A bitter reminder - sweet yet sour. A yearning to depurate - to be cleansed from those thoughts which once fueled your soul. Exonerate. Extinguish.
