For Ivan & Alyosha, the past few years have brought the kind of massive upheaval that often leads to a band’s undoing. After enduring the sudden canceling of a number of shows, personal crises and lineup changes (as well as the all-consuming chaos of the pandemic), the Seattle-based folk-rock act considered ending the collaboration first begun back in 2007. But in a leap of faith, co-founders Tim Wilson (vocals) and Ryan Carbary (guitar, piano) chose to carry on as a two-piece, completely revamp their process, and bring a newly heightened sense of purpose to the creation of their fifth full-length. Expanding on the incisive yet compassionate songcraft that’s earned acclaim from the likes of NPR and Rolling Stone—and led to such triumphs as touring with Aimee Mann, Brandi Carlile, NEEDTOBREATHE, The Lone Bellow, Chris Carrabba, and more—the forthcoming, All We Ever Had, ultimately marks the start of a new era for Ivan & Alyosha while delivering some of their most poignant and powerful material to date.
