Ivoux is the first in a series of themed side projects by the members of
Battery. This time around, the trio has chosen nine different female snow
themes upon which to base their compositions. Each track was rigorously
researched and copious liner notes describe each heroine or villaness as well
as include the vocals. Musically the music is stark, minimal, and cold. Only
Maria lends her voice to this project, allowing Shawn and Evan to focus solely
on the music. Most of her vocals exhibit her stellar singing voice which we
hear little of in Battery, where she often utilizes a more aggressive tone.
"Frozen" is certainly the most Gothic release produced by this trio, albeit it
shares more in common with the Darkwave and Ethereal scenes than true Gothic
music due to it's lack of guitars. Nevertheless, both the theme and the music
are very Gothic in nature, ensuring that Ivoux will be a favored release by
Goth and female vocalist fans alike.
Ivoux is: Maria Azvedo, Shawn Brice & Evan Sornstein
