James Ivey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Ivey is an artist and musician from Texas residing in San Diego, California. He is known for having a Surreal art style he calls Carnival Surrealism.[citation needed] He is known for having very nonchalant work. He uses all oil-based paints, and usually has very bright work, which may seem unusual, considering the materials.[citation needed]

Growing up in Houston, Texas, Ivey was in numerous punk and hardcore bands including the Charlie Brown Experience and Cactus Flower Daydream. In Houston, Ivey co-founded the dark wave gloom punk band Premonition, which was signed to Siren Records. Premonition released a self-titled album to critical acclaim followed by constant touring.

In the recent past, Ivey has had a recording project using the name "peyote67". The music can be described as cinematic experimental electro-punk utilizing guitars, analog keyboards, found metal objects, contact mics, vintage and new effects.[citation needed]

Currently,[when?] Ivey has a recording project called "The Dirty Sun" which can be described as dark wave, industrial, glitch, no wave, electro-punk, lo-fi shoe gaze, which relies heavier on guitars and vintage synthesizers with cold beats all recorded in his own "Dirty Moon Studios" in South Park, San Diego, CA.[citation needed]
