About Me


BUY ICE PALACE'S
"BRIGHT LEAF LEFT" HERE!

"Ice Palace's slower numbers have a literate dreaminess that recalls American Analogue Set or maybe the divine, departed Bedhead: textured, dense, yet articulate guitars; casual, almost conversational singing; and interesting rhythmic/tonal shifts...Definitely a band to watch." - The Village Voice, LD Beghtol
"The group's bipolar folk-rock hints at what Nirvana might have been if Kurt Cobain had had the chance to grow out of his angst and settle into his mid-thirties." - The Onion, Micah Johnson
"Ice Palace’s Adam Sorensen has to be one of the brightest new dark-night-of-the-soul singer-songwriters to come out of these parts in a while. The band’s debut, Bright Leaf Left...offers further proof that when it comes to the big rock candy mountain, minimalist beats, trippy words, quietly catchy melodies, and a scabbed-over broken heart go a long way." - City Pages, Jim Walsh
"The sound: Creepy and desolate dirge rock with a surprisingly sweet and tuneful singer. Why this could be the year: Assuming that people this year will still, occasionally, feel depressed, I can’t think of a more stirring soundtrack accompaniment." - Eight for 08 - Metro Magazine, Rob Van Alstyne
