LIA ICES ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM  ICES OUT SEPTEMBER 16 VIA JAGJAGUWAR REVEALS FIRST SINGLE, "THOUSAND EYES," TODAY!

Lia Ices is excited to announce the forthcoming release of her new album Ices which will be released September 16 on Jagjaguwar.  The album was produced by Benny Sagittarius ((the newly formed production team of Lia and her brother Eliot) with Clams Casino behind the deck for several of the tracks as well. Ices is also happy to reveal the first track, "Thousand Eyes," off Ices via a mesmerizing video which was directed by Dougal Henken and features artwork created by Hugo Barros.  Watch "Thousand Eyes" here: Lia Ices - "Thousand Eyes" (Official Lyric Video) Lia has previously released a trailer for Ices which you can watch here.    The album is the follow up to 2011's Grown Unknown (Jagjaguwar) and her 2008 debut Necima (Rare Book Room Records).  Ices was recorded during a two year music and spiritual retreat with her "psychic twin brother" Eliot, which began in the Hudson Valley, New York and ended in California, while working in multiple studios along the way.  Lia explains the album's creative process: "Each song (on Ices) became a collage of times, places, and people. Most of them started in the Hudson Valley, where Eliot and I wrote and recorded vocals, guitars, synths, and beat ideas. We'd send those first incarnations to Clams Casino in New Jersey and then we'd meet up in Brooklyn to arrange the new parts together. We worked in the penthouse of the Wythe Hotel - a floating glass box , a blank slate. We'd set up our computer, mixing speakers, midi keyboards, and all our weird gear, plus thai food and red wine. We'd bring up one of our demos and we'd sit behind the midi keyboard and sift through sounds and ideas and beats and find new things together. After the Wythe Sessions (in Brooklyn) we took different tracks to Woodstock and Los Angeles to layer in live drums and percussion, and I went to Atlanta to record final vocals. For the first time, Lia Ices felt like an inclusive project with its own identity, not just a name."
