All Hours is the sixth and final studio album by American band Ivy, released by Nettwerk on September 20, 2011. Following 2005's In the Clear, the members took a hiatus from music, allowing Andy Chase and Adam Schlesinger to work on side projects and Dominique Durand and Chase to begin raising a family. After reuniting in 2008, they started work on a project exploring a new sound following concerns that their songs would become obsolete and unimaginative due to their break. All Hours features 11 songs written and produced by Chase and Schlesinger; they take influence from electropop, indie pop and synth-pop music. Unlike their previous albums, All Hours experiments more with electronic music and contains tracks reminiscent of the music from the 1980s.

All Hours received mixed reviews from music critics; although several applauded Ivy for exploring a new sound, several of the songs on the album were described as boring and overly simple. "Distant Lights", "Fascinated" and "Lost in the Sun" were released as the album's three singles. The latter two songs were accompanied by music videos. In addition, a contest was held for fans to create a remix for "Lost in the Sun". All Hours became Ivy's first album to enter a record chart in the United States, where it peaked at No. 12 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart and No. 25 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.
