Ivy Flindt ‘Give It A Break’

Give It A Break is a stunning release from duo Ivy Flindt, made up of Cate Martin and Micha Holland. The release is reminiscent of Dido, The National and Lucy Dacus, whilst still retaining it’s individuality. The video is an open invitation to escape the world we are currently living in, with a wealth of nostalgic nature shots, parting clouds and soaring birds. The single initially opens as an easy going ballad before developing into altogether darker endeavour, and it’s narrative fits neatly into today’s climate. 

Discussing the release Cate explains:

“We chose the piece, of course, because it fits the current situation in that we are all confronted with something new that can also be frightening. And what do you actually do when a routine no longer works or simply fails? This also gives you the opportunity to reflect and find ways out or new ways.”
