NYC indie-pop band Iceblynk will unveil their self-titled debut EP next month.

Announced today, the five-song release, which features a remixed and renamed version of their debut single “Seared” titled “Spared” will be unveiled on October 21 via A Secret Brand. To celebrate the announcement, the band unveiled their new single “Tragic,” which can be heard below.

Vocalist Andrea Lynn said this about the new song:

“We chose to release ‘Tragic’ as the introduction to our EP as its driving force and evolving richness of tightly interwoven guitars lock in the listener from the start. While the vocal melody has a light and bright feel, the lyrics hint at a growing sense of despair/dissolution, creating a playful dissonance.”

Guitarist Martin Newman also said:

“Production-wise, ‘Tragic’ began as a clean, jangly-pop song with a slightly quirky chord progression. But as the recording process went on and our pandemic spending increased, we added Gamechanger’s Bigsby pedal and Mastro Valvola’s Lysergic Energy Module to the mix, and the guitars warped into something more along the lines of My Bloody Valentine crossed with Emma from Lush, which gave the song more of its edge and dreamy textures. By chance theremin extraordinaire Pamelia Stickney happened to be in town while we were recording, so to break up the onslaught of guitars, we had her lay down a solo during the bridge.”

Iceblynk will unveil their debut album next year. “Tragic” is on digital services right now.
