Ivy Nations are an indie-pop quartet who are setting the dance-rock scene on fire in their native Dublin. Only two singles deep, the group have been praised for their refined sound that they have established with producer Phil Magee (Kodaline, The Script). Their previous releases have broken the HypeM chart top 5 and received international airplay in the US, Australia and Ireland. Watch here

New single “Live By Design” holds faithful to the energetic, dreamy sensibilities of the band’s previous releases, but pushes forward. It’s a shade darker, which becomes apparent in the group’s first ever music video, directed and produced by Blacktooth Films. Inspired by Richard Ayoade’s The Double, director Benn Veasey and producer Rufus Pinkerton ”wrote a story focusing on the ideas of determinism, design, choice & freedom… in a dystopian world that was at once dated and a bit grubby, but at the same time really quite colourful and vibrant in places.”
