Ivan & Alyosha is a Seattle-based folk-pop, indie, rock band who create a sound that's distinctly Californian, with acoustic instrumentation and bright vocal harmonies that evoke the West Coast's summery, southern locales. The band make their triumphant return with their self-titled album after having sparked attention with their 2013 debut album All the Times We Had, followed by 2015's It's All Just Pretend. NPR Music has praised their "Beatles-esque pop harmonies and sweet melodies," while Rolling Stone has raved about their "smooth, soaring guitar pop" and American Songwriter has extolled their "polished west coast, soulful folk sound that draws on the poppier sensibilities of McCartney songwriting." The future has never seemed more welcoming for Ivan & Alyosha.
