Ivy Falls is singer-songwriter Fien Deman’s solo venture after collaborating with the likes of I Will, I Swear, Illuminine and Satin Jackets in recent years. She taught herself to play the guitar recently, and 'Not Cool' stands as one of the first tracks she crafted. The genesis of this song and in fact the entire album traces back to a pivotal moment—the aftermath of a metaphorical tidal wave that washed away all the familiar anchors in her life. While trying to find new ways, and filling a new and empty home, Fien wrote dozens of songs. 'Not Cool' is a track about setting boundaries and making choices that define one’s journey in life and relationships, and ultimately about shaping happiness. It's a call to express oneself, even if it leads to solitude, a testament to the strength and maturity in this song. Not Cool is an indie pop-folk track with depth, maturity, and melancholy, initiating a new chapter in Ivy Falls’ personal and artistic life while revisiting her first musical love. She drew inspiration from Julia Jacklin, Feist, Nilüfer Yanya, Amen Dunes and Sufjan Stevens. Musically, Fien finally found her true match in Bram Vanparys (The Bony King of Nowhere) He and Fien produced the record and composed and played guitar and piano parts together. They recorded the songs on Ivy Falls’ debut in a home studio over the course of last year.
