"... leaders of a new Burlington sound — a smart fusion of art-rock and experimental pop...offers further proof of the band’s collective songwriting abilities....The title cut might be the prettiest tune about a plane crash ever set to tape." - Ethan Covey, Seven Days *

Think Fleetwood Mac and Elliot Smith in a three-way with David Tibet. The Contrarian is a changeling who will no doubt keep on tweaking. For now, dig this bliss.

"... a seductive hybrid of futuristic pop and fuzzy
indie-rock ... a world-class electro-rock record ... Ruby in Flames is easily one of the best, an artful example of sonic origami..."

Swale :: Verdigris

Swale
Verdigris

IB3-013

Verdigris (n) : 1. A greenish blue poisonous pigment resulting from the action of acetic acid on copper, formerly used in medicine. 2. Anticipation and remorse, imperfect angels, lover’s shudders; the space between spaces; music nearly rupturing with holy tones; a slow sashay with the ghosts of rock ’n‘ roll.

Take yourself off the life-support machine, Sunshine— you won’t be needing it anymore.

1. Cancer [edit]
2. Dimedrop
3. Good Medicine [edit]
4. Soft Fireworks
Reorder Narcotic :: Labor Day

IB3-009

Good morning Jason-
I hope you'll call me back. I'm worried about these headaches and hope you already have your appointment with the MD. I also checked forum to see what she's talking about and read about how your family came up from the fecal facade and how you wished you'd die. Now I'm hoping you're not talking about me.
Love, mom

Renaldoh :: Naked.

Renaldoh
Naked.
IB3-003

Icebox Records' 1st comedy release. An artifact from the Golden Age of the Burlington Scene (circa 1995). Angry indie-rocker under the guise of "Renaldoh" rips said scene a new asshole via telephone messages. Not for the squeamish. 22 tracks.

Rated R for "Renaldoh"

2. "Hippies with Distortion Pedals"
4. Chin Ho! : "They Suck"
14. "Rugburns and a Cattle Prod"
e_o :: Lacuna

e_o
Lacuna
IB3-002

Eric Olsen's first solo release finds him marrying beauty with noise, melancholy with disgust, relaxation with anger. Underneath the blanket of guitar, strings, and piano lies a lyrical document of a few years passed fraught with disappointment, loss, and redemption. Sounds like bullshit? Then consider it 6 songs with a burning house on the cover.

"Lacuna is a record that should not be missed."
-Seven Days

School Bus :: painless

School Bus
painless
IB3-001

The first installment of our 3" Series is the product of a year's worth of ennui. Made on Jason's bed with a sampler and a couple of delay pedals, painless is the soundtrack for a long lonely busride and is intended to be listened to with headphones. If that sounds pretentious, wait until you actually hear it! This 20 minute masterpiece was made possible by Budweiser and klonopin.

1. Like a Racehorse 5. With Sunshine
2. radio 6. Painless
3. Ashes 7. I Want To
4. Last Call
