In 2010 Lia Ices put a spell on us with her gorgeous sophomore album ‘Grown Unknown,’ which earned her the cover of the Winter 2011 issue of The Deli. Admittedly we found ourselves wondering when we would hear from Lia again (the only release after that album was a split single featuring a cover of Pink Floyd’s "Wish You Wer Here"). Well, the wait is over: Jagjaguwar has just announced the September release of a new full length entitled ‘ICES’, and made available single "Thousand Eyes" (streaming), which shows us a breezier, slightly more uptempo, and also a little more lo-fi approach. As usual Lia’s magnetic vocals carve ethereal melodies that will intrigue fans of Enya or Cocteau Twins. No mentions of live performances as of now.
