     Ива has been around for awhile with a variety of different work. The primary reason I'm posting this today is because Moscow "post-hardcore" band began with a sick screamo-esque debut which has since been taken down from the band's socials. The newer material is much more subdued and less playful, which is why I won't bother covering that here.

     I'm just here for the self-titled 'Ива'. Consisting of seven short jams generally hovering around the minute-and-a-half mark, the band weaves intricate patterns mixing gorgeous noodles with barely distorted guitars and minimal heavyness. The vocals are shouted to the point where they break into screams, but this is more like later La Quiete and Raein material where the emphasis is on the mood of the music, and the vocals are more of an afterthought (as well as less screamy). If you dig these jams you should at least look into their later material, but I'm pretty sure there were member changes that resulted in a pretty quick shift out of this style.
