The Curious Thing About Leather by Irving

Artist Biography For Irving

After A Well-Received Debut Album And Critically Acclaimed Follow-Up EP The Band Irving Now Realizes Its Full Potential With "Death In The Garden Blood On The Flowers." An Album Of Inspired Variety And Stirring Depth "Death In The Garden" Casts Irving Among The Strongest Rock Bands Performing Today. Formed Initially By Members Alex Church Bass Steven Scott Guitar And Brian Canning Guitar Irving Began As A Thrown-Together Rock Outfit To Accompany A Friend’s Art Opening. Within A Month Brent Turner Drums Joined And The Group Began Working In Earnest On The Songs That Would Eventually Appear On Its First Album Good Morning Beautiful. The Release Of GMB In 2002 Showcased The Band’s Penchant For Writing Witty Pop Songs With Whimsical Backup Vocals And Upbeat Melodies. By The Year’s End Aaron Burrows Keyboards Signed On And The Band Was Back In The Studio. The I Hope You’re Feeling Better Now EP Released In 2003 To Critical Acclaim Exhibited Irving’s Unrelenting Willingness To Experiment With Pop Song Structures And Highlighted The Innate Strengths Of A Band In Which All Five Members Are Songwriters. In The Two Years Since The Release Of The EP Irving Has Opened For Such Notables As Franz Ferdinand Arcade Fire Broken Social Scene And The Polyphonic Spree. The Band’s Songwriting Has Also Taken A Noticeably More Thoughtful Turn. While The Innate Pop Sensibilities Continue To Stand Out Above All Else Irving’s Songwriting Has Matured—the Sounds And Structures More Intricate The Subject Matter More Thoroughly Realized. "Death In The Garden Blood On The Flowers" Is The Result Of Five Musicians And Their Distinct Influences Bound By An Uncanny Knack For Melody And Harmony. With Production And Engineering Help From Phil Ek The Shins Modest Mouse As Well As Aaron Espinoza Earlimart And Jim Fairchild From Grandaddy Irving Corrals Its Many Distinct Influences Into A Clear Vision. From The Oblique Percussive Start Of The Title Track To The Psych-Pop Chaos Of “Situation” To The So-Bizarre-It-Works Background Breathing On “I Want To Love You In My Room ” The Band Pulls Unforgettable Hooks Out Of The Most Unlikely Places. In 2007 Church Left The Band To Form His Own Band Sea Wolf While The Remaining Members Put Irving On Hold To Form A New Band With Singer Claire McKeown Afternoons Not To Be Confused With Or Sure To Be Confused With The Welsh Pop Band The Afternoons.
