“Ivancie describes her evolution from acoustic to electronic as fluid—there is always room for both, she says. But she admits that her more recent fascination with electronic music is fun. Her most recent Single, Little Girl, blends instrumentation and electronic accents that give it a haunting yet thoughtful vibe.” SARA JANE WILTERMOOD - The Source Weekly, Bend OR “Laura Ivancie blends a bit of folk, soul, and blues with electronic beats complimenting her guitar. She brings an earthy seductiveness to all her performances, and the audience becomes a willing captive in her web. Her songs are full of introspection, wanting, and hopeful change. She is the perfect opener. She knows how to captivate an audience with her talent and charms while getting them energized for the night ahead.” Teri Briggs - Oregon Music News “In this edition of Staff Picks: a five track EP from a Portland, OR songstress unveiling her own brand of sultry “folktronica”. Singer-songwriter Laura Ivancie blends downtempo electronica with haunting folk melodies to create an evocative audio vignette. Suited for fans of Sade and Portishead, the Marrow EP finds the Northwest US singer sauntering confidently through uncharted musical territory on the five-track release.” Austin Leigh Briggs - BitTorrent Blog “Hypnotically soothing, dripping with soul and accented with electric elements, musical chameleon, Laura Ivancie has a voice that is distinctly hers and expertly navigates the world of electronic music with the assuredness of a veteran!” Sarah Creedican - PDX Pick Bio: When a softly spoken singer-songwriter with guitar in hand lists Ani Difranco as one of her primary influences; describes her music as “rooted in blues;” shreds her ‘good girl image’ and starts experimenting with the succulent sounds of electronic strings, synths, trip-hop and dance beats, you know you’re in for an interesting listen! Her penchant for intelligent and thought-provoking lyricism coupled with sexy grooves, haunting melodies and her smoky, sultry timbre brings expressive and passionate tones to the often repetitive structure of electronica. “My music dances with the dark side; it is introspective and tells a story, with a heavy influence of electronica; however, I feel like my voice and melodies have a tendency to swing a bit, giving it a soulful tinge that blends throwbacks like Eva Cassidy with Lauren Hill and Sade.” A rare breed of musician, Laura Ivancie occupies the 1% that can compose and perform in polar genres with ease; singing sweetly with her hypnotically soothing voice to soft acoustic tunes then intensely belting across an electronic beat. Dripping with resonantly expressive and passionate tones, then accented with electric elements, Ivancie possesses a depth of talent that comes straight from her soul. A fan of such diverse artists as India Arie, Depeche Mode, Erykah Badu, Portishead and Ella Fitzgerald, her voice remains central to her music even as she breaks into a whole new “folktronic” genre.
