...bridges the same synaptic gaps as Say Hi—or PJ Harvey with a Y chromosome.

I love bands that can make dreary music that's full of anguish, but somehow still really catchy. The title of the band's latest CD, Wonder Subtly Crushing Us, sort of says everything you need to know about the music. It's crunchy and noisy and dark.

"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
