    Quite simply, there hasn’t been a Copeland album as complete as Ixora.

    It's a fairly strong, welcomed return from one of the decade's best bands of its kind. [Jan 2015, p.91]

    Ixora (the name comes from a type of flowering plant common in Florida) finds Copeland embracing a more mature subject matter than they did on their early albums (as befits men in their mid-thirties), but with the same moody and thoughtful musical approach that marked their best-known work.

    Ixora is an impressive revival that shows there’s life in these stalwarts yet.

    If you don't find yourself choking back lumps in your throat by the time "Ordinary" simmers down, you should really check your pulse. AfterIf you don't find yourself choking back lumps in your throat by the time "Ordinary" simmers down, you should really check your pulse. After that, good luck making it to "In Her Arms You Will Never Starve". The whole album is all one well crafted heart on a sleeve for you to interpret.… Full Review »
