Ivy & the Static are done playing it safe

The garage-rock duo on their new record, Analog Youth, and why they recorded it live.

Analog Youth was recorded in four days, live, with almost no overdubs. "We wanted it to sound like a room, not a laptop," says guitarist Ivy Marchetti.

That approach shows on "Rust & Chrome," a track that barely holds together — in the best way. "We kept the take where the amp almost cuts out," Marchetti laughs. "It sounded more honest than the clean version."

The duo is currently finishing a follow-up EP, due later this year.
