Cold

Lycia · 5 plays

Lycia's Cold (1996) is the whole day, and it could not be better named: the Arizona band's glacial masterpiece, guitars turned to frost and Mike VanPortfleet's voice half-lost in the mix, darkwave as pure desolation.

Frozen

Lycia · Cold

† Liner note

Lycia formed in Arizona, of all places; Cold is their landmark, a cornerstone of the American darkwave and ethereal scene built around Projekt Records.
