about

London based Ice Baths take influence from cult heroes such as Swell Maps, Television Personalities, Wire, US Maple – all restless energy and angled aggression. Lyrically there is a bleakness and darkness, though the band prefer the listener to reach their own conclusions as to lyrical themes. “They centre on feelings or imagery that can be dreary, dark, difficult and abstract. We deliberately pass the buck to the listener to pick out certain moods or feelings” explains the band (Alex Ives, Thomas Cleall, Ed Shellard & Jack Davis).

The production process was not simple nor was it smooth. The band had a very clear idea of how they wanted the record to sound and that included a long, pain-staking period where ideas were scrapped and reworked. “It was an absolute challenge, we were very picky about how to get the sound we wanted. It led us to mixing the record ourselves. We wanted the record unpolished and raw, hissy, trebly, bitty & a bit uncouth” says Alex. To achieve the desired effect, the album was recorded on a selection of different Tascam tape machines – a move to retain the grittiness of early demo’s as well as the spike their live shows are known for.

Ice Baths have been on the London circuit for a short while now, they’re a notoriously tight live band but now they are ready to take the next step.

“We’re pretty excited to be released on a label with artists we really respect, it’s a confidence boost that perhaps we’re on the right track. We’re proud of the album the same way you might be proud of an errant child”

I discover this sound on GTA , but not save what it is. Many months after, I re listen this sound. Since, I re play guitar, and it's you Crack Cloud ( and Nov3l ) the begining of my new motivation for playing music. I love to cover this song... Big kisses Crack Cloud... Jiyin. Jiyin

The terrific new record from Nyxy Nyx recalls the best of the early ’90s—slow-moving, shoegaze-adjacent songs with woozy melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 11, 2022

Storm is so peaceful to listen to. I love this song very dearly. It makes me forget my worries and makes me think of how someday if only for a time that I'll be where I wanna be in life. I imagine myself sleeping next to a window as the sun shines onto my face with a warm feel that makes me happy and fuzzy inside. I hope to share those types of moments with a special somebody that'll be by my side one day. Moments that will forever be in my heart. 10/10 album <3 foolyboy
