Биография

Lia Ices has released 3 critically acclaimed albums - 2008’s Necima (Rare Book Room) followed by Grown Unknown (Jagjaguwar Records) in 2011, and then the simply titled Ices in 2014, also on Jagjaguwar Records. Her music has been covered from Vogue to Pitchfork to The New York Times and has been heard on HBO’s GIRLS, Gray’s Anatomy, and Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart. In 2015 she relocated from Brooklyn to Sonoma County, California. “Hymn” is Ices’ first California output and was written at her home on Moon Mountain in Sonoma, while Ices was pregnant with her first child. She and her band recorded the track in Los Angeles with producer JR White (Girls, Tobias Jesso Jr), and it was mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House, Amen Dunes ) at Sunset Sound, Los Angeles. “Hymn” also marks a return to the piano, and Lia further states, “Coming to California and living on the mountain and being in nature, and then starting to grow a human, I wanted to make something without having any ulterior motives other than letting what naturally happens, happen.”
