Stories From The Land, Stories From The Sea

Ikon

Twelve skeletal acoustic demos that strip Ikon's gothic rock anthems down to their barest, most vulnerable folk foundations. Raw, intimate, and profoundly cold.

A stark, unvarnished intimacy that feels like a cold winter night spent in total isolation.

Moments Worth Listening For
The stark opening of As the Sirens Call where the lack of typical Ikon reverb exposes the raw grain of the vocals.
The rhythmic, hypnotic strumming on Chasing Shadows that creates a sense of movement despite the minimalist arrangement.
The fragile, almost hesitant delivery on Lullaby that transforms a gothic staple into a vulnerable folk lament.
