  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    the good news: it's available on vinyl! but these stereo lathe cut LPs are expensive. they're custom made to order, one at a time. they look and sound great! (note: foreign shipping limited to 2 records. contact us if you'd like to order more. US orders ship for a flat $5 for as many LPs as you'd like to order). shipping time depends on how quickly we get them from the lathe cutter, but it's usually a week to 10 days, then we'd ship it out to you. or order directly here kunaki.com/VinylRecord.asp?ProductId=PX00P45IZ1

about

written in 1992 and recorded by the first lineup of Purple Ivy Shadows, but only released in England. was re-recorded acoustically for 'Merican Recordings to connect with this neglected song. but it wasn't included in the album's original version, so it remained neglected for another 20 years - until now.

lyrics

icicles are echoes

it is always frozen
no matter where it comes from
swallow it and swim fish
swallow it and swim

icicles are echoes (icicles are echoes)
that come from inside

it is something like being a child
when all the lines aren't drawn so much
and yes i worry, but all in confidence
and when i come i cross that wire

yes i worry (yes i worry)
flock to mind (flock to mind)
yes i worry

of like a seagull
spin, spun in the air
you are my sister now
and your back i've lost sight of
slow down if you can
slow down if you care
of like a seagull
and icicles are echoes

icicles are echoes (icicles are echoes)
flock to mind (flock to mind)
icicles are echoes
