Pittsburgh, we have a star.
Bishop Ivy.
His is a name Pittsburgh peeps need to have on their radar. Take a little Fleet Foxes (think Shores), Freelance Whales (think Enzymes), maybe a drop of Glen Phillips, and, well, at this point you should get the drift. Bishop Ivy offers up a familiar, definitely-want-this-music-on-your-playlist vibe, but with a large dose of unique Ivyness and brilliance added. Bishop Ivy is just more proof that Pittsburgh is one of the most creative cities on this planet.

Lyrics
(presented on the official video without caps)
running beside the train you ride
i’ll bear cuts and scars
but still clutch my arm
i’ll throw away the world
if that’s what makes it work
don’t you know it’s all i have
and all i’ll ever know?
so please stay, please stay
how could i stand tall
with no one to break my fall?
and if my helmet breaks
would I care to erase my pain?
songs from our time changed their chime
notes stay the same
passions fade
i’ll throw away the world
if that’s what makes it work
don’t you know it’s all i have
and all i’ll ever know?
so please stay, please stay
how could i stand tall
with no one to break my fall?
and if my helmet breaks
would I care to erase my pain?
still in my dreams, we didn’t leave
was that your voice or my own ploy?
