DOWNLOAD: Lia Ices - You Will
Lia Ices is a rising singer/songwriter from Brooklyn, NY, who released a criminally overlooked LP, Necima, on Rare Book Room late last year (buy it on iTunes here). "You Will" stems from that record, a soft ballad that hangs on floating piano chords, Lia's arching voice, and sporadic clarinet. It was worked into the above video, which premiered on The FADER last week and was shot in Vermont this winter by Dylan Eastgaard, featuring scenes of Lia trudging through snow-covered trails and writing a letter in an isolated cabin. Truthfully, we're not really sure what's going on with the ending, but we're enjoying watching winter from a distance. Snow is actually pretty when you don't have to deal with it.
Lia plays tonight at Brooklyn's Music Hall Of Williamsburg as part of a run of shows with Loney, Dear. All of those dates and more, including a slot opening for Iron & Wine later this month, are up on her MySpace.
