2618 Icehouse - Icehouse

From: Icehouse; Year: 1981; Genre: New Wave

For some reason I was in the mood for something new wave; the earlier material from the band Icehouse seemed to fit my mood pretty well, so that's what I went with.
Anyway, as some probably know, this song which was also the namesake of the band's debut album wasn't originally supposed to be the name of the band. They were originally known a Flowers, but after signing their international contract a name change was forced due to another band with the name, so they took the name from the album and the song and the rest is history.
This one's very much an early 1980's new wave track in every way; very a-typical of the time, but still good one unto itself.
