Stream Icarus Phoenix’s New Album

For months we’ve been encouraging you to give Drew Danburry’s Icarus Phoenix some of your attention, and to be fair, we’ve actually been doing it for years, as we’ve been hooked since catching onto the self-title LP way back when. Today, you can officially stream I Should Have Known the Things You Never Said. On the new LP, you’ll find Danburry peaking at just the right time, aided by fellow craftsman like Jake Bellows of Neve Dinova. “The Things You Never Told Me” might just be one of my favorite tracks of the year, and it starts the album on the right foot, swelling from a sort of casual ballad into this sweeping emotional powerhouse, punctuated by a few little backing yelps. Standout tracks like “High Tide” might also entice you, living in the apartment adjacent to Ben Gibbard’s beset work; it’s the sincerity in the lyricism that just keeps you coming back. There’s little hints of folk, bridging into great indie rock, so you’re not going to go through the entirety without finding some little charm to keep in your pocket. So, click below and stream all of I Should Have Known the Things You Never Said.

Icarus Phoenix Shares Painting Single

Today, Icarus Phoenix shares another tune from their forthcoming record, and be forewarned, the narrative here is simply heartbreaking, which bleeds into the emotion of the song itself. Songwriter Drew Danburry wrote the song about his mother who took up art therapy to cope with the loss of her son (Drew’s brother) after a battle with cancer. In listening through, you hear Drew also realizing the grief that his mother had likely hidden away, as we all seek ways to move on from our own trials, often burying it deep down so as never to let those emotions come out again. Musically, this number feels a lot like some of the most powerfully moving music that Ben Gibbard never made; I love the way the band fills in all the space behind, adding this heaviness to the tune that matches the solemnity of the lyrical content. I Should Have Known the Things You Never Said will be released on August 15th.
