Coupling soft vocals and acoustic guitar-picking, fly like icarus serenades with gentle sweetness. Church organ-like keys and a flute-and-violin duo frame the arrangement.
fly like icarus is a collective in the conventional sense of the word, but its founder, will, dominates what goes on in the studio. geoff, the second member to fully join, often contributes his songwriting and production talents. other local musicians sit in obligingly when requested. what results is an airy, ethereal mix of "summer teeth"-era wilco, "so tonight"-era mazzy star, "sea change"-era beck, and swedish duo kings of convenience.
