'NECIMA' is Lia Ices' debut full length album, produced by Nicolas Vernhes at the Rare Book Room in Brooklyn, NY. This album was born on the piano and with the voice, drawing up feelings we get when we listen to the inspired songwriting of our old favorites; those artists who created a new sound for themselves that begged others to follow. Both Lia and Nicolas were eager to experiment with the arrangement and instrumentation of the songs and called in a number of talented friends including David Muller (Fiery Furnaces, Dopo Yume), Andy Macleod
(White Magic, Bright Black) and Robbie Lee (I and Ear records, Love as Laughter).
What came to follow is an eight song stream of tulip/double helix lyrics braided together by a rainbow of sounds; among them, gemshorn, a large Colombian hand drum, White album-era electric guitar, organs, bass clarinet, and at it's backbone of course, Lia's voice and piano.
