“Planet of Ice” has an atmosphere of math rock, British pop-rock beats and progression, while remaining humble and true to the band’s relaxing sound-identity. At times it resembles a more electronic-reverberated take on Mars Volta’s, De-Loused in the Comatorium, which we all want more of. This being my first Minus the Bear album, I was eased with well-rounded soundscapes that make for excellent background noise on a relaxing day, while drawing together a collage of recognizable styles and sounds inspired by Floyd, Volta, and so on.
