TRAPPED UNDER ICE





In case you are reading this....we are in full on writing mode right now. Lots of new songs brewing. Full on epic, down tuned, power and bombast. Lots of new stuff cooking in the oven. We have one show scheduled in the meantime- we're playing with our friends in RED SPAROWES and FANG ISLAND next month in beautiful Sacramento, Ca. Should be fun. Check out both of their new records if you haven't already, they are both great.

We will soon be out of records of our debut. A repress will be likely, but in the meantime, this is your last chance to get the record on blue vinyl.

Aquarius Records has been selling a lot of our records recently - here's a great review they just posted of "And The Sea Won The Battle." Sidenote: This was and is probably my favorite record store of all time. When I first moved to SF in 1997 I would go here almost every day and explore their shelves for new music.

from aquariusrecords.org:
"First proper full length (after a super limited cd-r), of gorgeously blissed out post rock from this Bay Area ensemble. Lush and textured, rhythmic and hypnotic, slow burning and sprawling, epic and super rocking, these guys take that nineties sound we love so much and make it their own, the songs smolder and pulse, before exploding into dense roiling Godspeed / Mogwai style blowouts. Meandering prettiness, gives way to loping mathy minimalism, chiming guitars, simple spare drumming, looped melodies, a slow build to near metallic crush, the bass throbbing, the guitars tangled up in psychedelic squalls, the drums muscled and propulsive. The sound moody and minor key, cinematic and soundtracky, brooding and intense, heavy and emotional and harrowing. If you dig stuff like Mogwai, Aereogramme, Mono, Pelican, Grails, Explosions In The Sky, Magyar Posse, Red Sparowes, Snowblood, that Temporary Residence instrumental rock sound, that heavy post POST rock, well, Glaciers does it as good if not better than most of your favorites. Not sure how these guys slipped under our radar, since they're from right here in the Bay Area, but it's time to right that wrong, RIGHT NOW.
Pressed on gorgeous ice blue vinyl, comes with a download coupon, and yeah, it's probably limited too... "

Thanks for reading. Stay warm, dry and check out our friends in TRUE WIDOW..best record I've heard in years.
