Description
'Ice & Bone', the long awaited second CD by multi-instrumentalist frostlake (Jan Todd) who has been busy writing and recording for the improvising band Orchestra of The Upper Atmosphere. 'Ice & Bone' is now finally released and the distinctive sound palette of her debut CD 'White Moon, Black Moon' continues - acoustic and electronic sounds washed with layered vocals and the creative bass of Terry Todd.

They have played out live as a duo and here are studio recordings of their live set. The mix of acoustics strings/wind instruments with ethereal synthesizers and percussion takes you to another world- from the gentle terror of '60's B movie 'The Lake' to the classic folk horror of 'When Trees Sing/Find Me'. Ice & Bone unwraps the darker layers of the mind in dreams and the unexplained. Driving bass and drums grind it back to reality in 'Just A Game' and 'The Last Time' so this album is caught between the worldly and the unworldly - British psychedelia at it's best. Field recordings add a sense of time and place in the eerie, natural world that frostlake creates and shares it's stranger.

"Ice & Bone is a gorgeous, dreamy and rich with haunted folk, of lost ghosts, calling from another world, whispering sweet things in your ear." - Lee Henderson - Big Beautiful Noise
