Connie Hong is on to something with her project Ivory Circle. Mellow but traumatic, emotional and honest, the EP entropy is a five-song journey into her mind, which takes the listener on a climbing journey into what soft, melodious indie rock can do. “Scarlet Letter Girl” is the catchiest tune on the disc, with a dominating piano line that plants a dancing image of a woman struggling to find her way.

Impressive for a solo project, Hong herself lays down the vocals and piano, and splits percussion duties with Chris Beeble (the Say So). The record, at times, paints an image of Hong putting on a poignant and arousing performance in a dark, smoky bar.
