The Ivy and Lyncs are joining forces for their captivating new single & video, “Don’t Fall Asleep To This.” This release marks an exciting prelude to their upcoming North America tour, kicking off on March 25th in Albuquerque, and hitting major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Nashville, before wrapping up in San Antonio on April 23rd.
The collaboration between The Ivy’s Wyatt Clem (vocals/guitar) and Shawn Abhari (synth/bass) and Lyncs’ Jacqueline Hynes (vocals/multi-instrumentalist) was born serendipitously during a writing trip in LA. “Don’t Fall Asleep To This” showcases the combined indie pop brilliance of both acts, delivering a heartfelt ode to the challenges and hopes of long-distance relationships. With its blend of soothing melodies and a driving, pulsating beat, the track strikes a perfect balance—hypnotic in its intimacy yet bursting with energetic allure.
“Working with The Ivy on ‘Don’t Fall Asleep To This’ was an incredible experience,” Lyncs shares. “The song started with a mesmerizing, lullaby-like synthesizer. Initially, we leaned into that dreamy, slow vibe, but by the second day, we transformed it into something more upbeat and driving, which gave it that dynamic energy that matched both our sounds.” Reflecting on the collaboration, The Ivy adds, “The writing process felt so natural and seamless. We’re thrilled with what we created together.”
The Ivy is the brainchild of Tulsa-based musicians and producers Wyatt Clem and Shawn Abhari, who first crossed paths at The Academy of Contemporary Music in Oklahoma City. Their instant creative spark ignited a journey of relentless experimentation and sonic boundary-pushing.
Lyncs, the musical project of American artist Jacqueline Hynes, hails from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Her musical journey began at the age of five with piano and violin, eventually evolving into writing and producing her own music.
