Iceblynk - Rememory - Review
NMR - This New York band bring us a dreamy pop track full of jangled reverb soaked guitars making for a nice backdrop to support the vocal melodies.
Guiatar rffis are also prevalent throughout the track, with heavy chorus and delay FX it adds colour and dynamic to the mix.
The hook could be stronger for me, but overall a nice track.
About - Iceblynk
Boab is the latest EP from New York dream pop band Iceblynk, featuring four tracks that combine two previously unreleased songs with two remixes.
Rememory has been a mainstay of Iceblynk’s live repertoire for the past year, while Never Ready was pulled from the archives and reimagined for this release, taking on a more shoegaze and trip-hop feel.
Rounding out the EP are two remixes. Rememory (Total Recall Mix) comes from The Summer Republic, a Brooklyn collective featuring members of Clone and The Veldt. The second is Enter the Sky (Lulu Lewis Disco Mix), produced by Pablo Martin, a producer and composer for Lulu Lewis and The Du-Rites, as well as a touring member of Tom Tom Club and Belouis.
Martin’s remix credits also include Ghostface Killah, Large Professor, M.O.P., Wax Tailor and DJ Rhettmatic, adding another interesting dimension to the EP’s remix selections.
Iceblynk was formed in the summer of 2019 by guitarist Martin Newman, vocalist Andrea Lynn and bassist James Newman. Following the disruption caused by COVID, the band returned with their self-titled debut EP and began performing live around the New York area.
Following the release of their single Enter the Sky, drummer Rachel Fischer joined the band, with the new line-up subsequently releasing the single Plummett.
Boab continues the band’s exploration of dream pop, shoegaze and electronic textures, bringing together new material and reworked versions of existing songs to create a compact four-track release.
