Ivy have released their seventh studio album—and follow-up to 2011’s All Hours—featuring recently unearthed contributions from band co-founder Adam Schlesinger, who passed away in April 2020. The album is preceded by the official singles “Say You Will,” “Fragile People” and “Heartbreak,” the official videos for which can be viewed below.

Band co-founders Andy Chase and Dominique Durand called upon Ivy’s backing keyboardist and guitarist Bruce Driscoll to help resurrect archival recordings and demos featuring their late bandmate Adam Schlesinger, which form the musical foundation and spiritual inspiration for Traces of You’s ten compositions.

“The world thought Ivy was gone after 2012, and for a time we did too,” Chase confides in an official statement. “And after Adam’s death in 2020 it seemed certain. So Dominique and I are thrilled to give everyone a brand new Ivy album, with our beloved Adam playing on every song!”
