Beautiful 14-track, self-titled album now available on Australian label MusicYourMIndWillLoveYou
MYMWLY, initial edition comes complete with creepy hand-written Edwardian mortuary toe-tag insert, plus eye-searing cover-art. Hissing M-Birds, hallucinating machines and the sub-aquatic memory-leakage of Seymour's Family Club. This is the sound of thoughts solidifying and taking shape, of an eerie inner-mind marshland:

Ice Bird Spiral inhabit a West Country Interzone somewhere between psychedelic-noise and old school Surrealism, where found-sound and automatic writing co-exist with rural car-boot mysticism. The band are currently a 9-piece, but the other 7 are either dead or don't exist.
...first album - Mymwly0073 ice bird spiral - Available from the Australian label MYMWLY
What the critics say:
""Malnourished and toothless he stalks my dreams". So begins one of the tracks from an album which comes to you straight from the strand of nightmares. This is like a Burroughsian cut-up novel, except using sound pictures instead of words: The Westen Lands created freehand in audio! Voices, echoes, fuzzed out distortion, guitar, feedback, some rhythms, all the track titles written on an old brown card baggage label. Will you dare to listen alone?!" - Boa Melody Bar
A new track "5 Black Yachts for Jean" is out now, as part of the "001 Survey" compilation on the Net-Label Classwar Karaoke. Available for full-download here.
What the critics say:
"Kek and Cloudboy unleash another horribly mangled cacophony full of jagged fretboard abuse and other noxious noises, interwoven with seagulls, passages of unfathomable French dialogue and a dispassionate female intoning about morphine injections...transporting me into some kinda TG-circa-"Heathen Earth" nether-zone. Bloody horrible racket yet strangely compelling." - Gutterbreakz
Meanwhile we are blasting a bunch of new tunes - for 2nd full album and some other up n coming oddness...!!! Also a forthcoming cassette based round our feb 2008 Mr. Punch-themed stage-show.
Expect some sonic strangeness in the next few months with a series of lavishly packaged releases on different formats and labels: we've got some weird concepts brewing, people....hope you join us for a fun musical ride!
