This summer, The Icy Lakes, will publish a concept album named «Little Songs For You», a collection of heartwarm little songs that you can send to someone you care about.
I'm looking for co-writers and collaborators for lyrics and/or music. Maybe that is you?!
I will try to get as many songs written / co-written up until May 1st.
Then, I'll pick the 5 best songs to compile on that album.
After that it will go into production and hopefully be released mid to late summer.
Here are some songs that I have written. They are all WIP, but just to show the style of music.
Here are a few influences as a reference for this album.
I discovered Sufjan just a few years ago with Carrie & Lowell. It struck an immediate nerve. The raw emotion, the strong melodies, the beautiful arrangements - but also the jarring, the eerie, the contrast.
A long time favorite of mine, in all ways, both lyrically and melodically. Great guitar playing too.
I really like the emotional lyrics and the beautiful melodies of Tom Rosenthal. I'd like to aim for some of the same, just he uses piano a lot and I plan on using mostly string instruments.
