Beware of The Ivy. This is not the Takeshi Hosomi you thought you knew.

I’m going to do the unthinkable and compare “The Ivy” to Radiohead. Maybe it is the  earshattering noise at the start of the track that fades into a piano melody. But even moreso I think Takeshi Hosomi is echoing Thom Yorke when he aches that someone “takes his breath away.” Of course you could also mention Muse’s Matthew Bellamy in this comparison. Both lead singers have a grandiose way of singing that separates from the music in easy to peel off layers. Regardless, you need to give this track your full attention.

Does that peak your interest in The Hiatus’ new album Anomaly? The preorder it at yesasia.com. It’s out 6-30-2010.
