The opening salvos of Icebird's first leaked track could have been snatched from the crates of a dusty northern soul rarity, chopped and riddled with extra sixteenth notes by RJD2, who comprises one half of the new duo alongside vocalist Aaron Livingston. The whole thing starts to descend into a 70s stadium rock slow jam, but the mood stays strictly retrospective and analog, and heralds the beginning of a decent friendship between the two bros.
Let there be Icebird:
Icebird, “Going and Going. And Going”
Their album, The Abandoned Lullaby, is out October 11 on RJD2's RJ's Electrical Connections.
