Mask

Description

Electronic pop trio Icky Blossoms will release their second album, ¬Mask, on May 12th 2015, followed by the vinyl release on May 26th. Three years on from their Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio) produced debut, their singular brand of¬ mesmerizingly contradictory dance ¬music has evolved. Blending avant-garde elements with catchy and danceable pop, threaded ¬within dark, bass-heavy atmospheres, their songs nod to great music of the ¬past, whilst¬ propelling them firmly into the future.¬ Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, the three members of Icky BlossomsSarah Bohling ¬(vocals/synth), Nik Fackler (lead guitar/vocals) and Derek Pressnall¬ (guitar/vocalsalso of Tilly and the Wall) wrote independently and then filtered songs back and forth¬ through each other, creating a collage of tastes, genres and energies within each track. The band experimented with making electronics sound organic and¬organic instruments feel electronic. Song skeletons were embellished with tuned¬ 808s, hyper-e ected mouth¬ noises, screams as instruments, and guitars run¬ through synthesizers.
