RAVES IN BLACK BOOK, PASTE, AV CLUB, ETC. FOR NEW ALBUM ‘MY WORLD WAS MADE FOR YOU’
Alongside Courtney Barnett, Scott & Charlene's Wedding, Twerps, Lost
Animal, and The Stevens, the Icypoles are an Australian indie invasion.
The new album ‘My World Was Made For You,’ featuring covers of David
Lynch’s “Just You” (from Twin Peaks) and Martika’s “Love, Thy Will Be
Done,” co-written by Prince, is out now on Highline Records. Black Book
is streaming the entire album.
Here’s what we’ve been reading about the Icypoles:
“7.7… a little dreamy… understated intimacy.”
- Eric Danton, Paste Magazine, May 15, 2014
“Sounds a bit like the XX merged together with some old doo-wop style girl groups.”
- Marah Eakin, AV Club, April 16, 2014
“A sweet treat [with] a sinister vibe… Led by Isobel Knowles, formerly
of Architecture In Helsinki, the Melbourne quartet serves up
retro-flavored tunes in the vein of the Brunettes, Soko, and the Boy
Least Likely To.”
- Katie Chow, Black Book, May 1, 2014
“Delicious… Severely cool… The magic is in their surprising sense of
melodic timing and coy delivery that plays out in our heads like a Mona
Lisa smirk set to some kind of sarcastic retro choreography.”
- Charity Painter, The Wild Honey Pie, April 18, 2014
“Reminiscent of The Blow, with handclaps, singsong vocals and a slightly jagged, funky bassline.”
- Lizzie Plaugic, CMJ, May 6, 2014
