"Ice Palace's slower numbers have a literate
dreaminess that recalls American Analogue
Set or maybe the divine, departed Bedhead:
textured, dense, yet articulate guitars; casual, almost conversational singing; and interesting rhythmic/tonal shifts...Definitely a band to watch." - The Village Voice

"Local buzz band Ice Palace already has drawn
comparisons to the Decemberists... a
beautifully melancholic and jittery nod to
Northern rock, from the Pacific Northwest to
the shores of Lake Superior." - Minnesota
Public Radio

"Ice Palace's Adam Sorensen has to be one of
the brightest new dark-night-of-the-soul singer- songwriters to come out of these parts in a while." - City Pages

"The group's bipolar folk-rock hints at what
Nirvana might have been if Kurt Cobain had
had the chance to grow out of his angst and
settle into his mid-thirties." - The Onion
