Housed in a gatefold sleeve,includes download code) Following the success of debut album Highly Refined Pirates forward-thinking guitar gymnastics and Menos El Osos groundbreaking glitch rock, Seattles premier pop revisionists Minus The Bear dug into some of rock musics most ostentatious years for inspiration for their 2007 album, Planet Of Ice. The title alone conjures images of Yes Relayer album art and the influence of the elder statesmens symphonic scope can be felt throughout Planet of Ices lush and intricate arrangements. One can hear the band channel the ominous instrumental interplay of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway-era Genesis on Dr. LLing, the deceptively savvy musicianship and pristine production of Steely Dan on White Mystery and the tightrope walk between ethereal space and pre-metal riffage of Pink Floyds Echoes on Lotus. Not that Minus The Bear completely abandoned their earlier style elements of Menos El Osos sample- driven technique can be heard on the lead single Knights but the heart of the song ultimately belongs to the haunting Fripp-esque guitar lines spliced between verses. After being out of print on record since 2010, Suicide Squeeze are proud to reintroduce Planet of Ices creative marriage of classic motifs and modern musical wizardry with a vinyl remaster courtesy of Bernie Grundman. PS: Minus The Bear are an emo band. + REPRESS CUT AT 45RPM + JACKET FLOODED WITH UV HIGH GLOSS VARNISH + PRINTED INNER SLEEVES + DOWNLOAD CARD INCLUDED
