More people should listen to: Ivana XL, live at Sycamore, June 11

Ivana XL is pure talent (a lot of it), and very little organization – a little bit like a female Van Gogh of the NYC scene – or maybe a Syd Barret reincarnation, considering her psychedelic influences and surprising songwriting style, that induces memories of childhood. Ivana finally managed to put out an EP (entitled "Blood") that sounds good (all her most recent releases were just very basic 2 tracks live recordings.) You can listen to some of these tracks here. We’ve been fans of Ivana for quite some time now and would definitely recommend to listen to her music and see her live, she’s playing Sycamore (awesome little venue in Ditmas Park) on June 11.
