Icarus Phoenix Shares Too Many Hands Video

Going back through my emails this week, I’ve been sleeping on dropping this Icarus Phoenix video, which has been out for a hot minute. Still, I love Drew Danburry’s songwriting, particularly in this project, so it seems fitting as I’m circling back to include the latest tune from the forthcoming Sometimes Our Shadow Gets in the Way. This round, Drew is joined up by Josaleigh Pollett, who adds a nice balance to the song and helps detail the song’s story of a toxic relationship; she plays a nice foil with a more pensive tone in her voice, mixing up the textural balance in a traditional duet sense. This new LP will be out on Telos Tapes on April 7th.

Icarus Phoenix Shares Anthem Video

By now, you’re likely aware of my adoration for Drew Danbury’s Icarus Phoenix project; he’s been dropping singles left and right as he prepares for the release of the new LP. This run through, you get a slight heavier punch in the getting, offering up an almost rock vibe, though it’s quickly peeled back for the voices, allowing for the intimate swoon that’s made Danburry’s work so enchanting since I hit upon the self-titled Icarus Phoenix LP. There are definitely some vocal notes here that remind me of Clem Snide, so I’m definitely inclined to just sit here and fawn, but I’ll let you decided. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Drew keeps this a family affair, allowing his 12 year old nephew create the video here. Look for the new LP via Telos Tapes on September 10th.
