Ice Cream

Since 2014, Toronto duo Carlyn Bezic and Amanda Crist have been sending pulses through the underground as Ice Cream. One part DNA, one part 1999, with a live show that vibrates between cold stares and raw sensuality, Ice Cream are soundtracking a dance party for dark times.

Their debut long player, &#39;Love, Ice Cream&#39;, produced with Ben Cook (<a href="spotify:artist:1zEgVwAUxnTP5DDnmZbJnw" data-name="Young Guv">Young Guv</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:05C3EDw4Rf0qMhrdjFKncL" data-name="Fucked Up">Fucked Up</a>) and Tony Price (<a href="spotify:artist:3FNxCDbbnvcjug7iDkgMM5" data-name="Actual Water">Actual Water</a>), was released on Bad Actors to critical acclaim. With Moog synthesizers, angry bass guitars, distorted drum machines, and the sly humour of their lyrics, they wrestled with what it means to be a woman in late capitalism. No wonder they’re frequent collaborators with some of Toronto’s most interesting musicians: Crist appears on both <a href="spotify:artist:3AHFDfqhSqPBecjQDIOIJA" data-name="U.S. Girls">U.S. Girls</a> albums &#39;Half Free&#39; and &#39;In a Poem Unlimited&#39;, Bezic lent her bass playing skills to <a href="spotify:artist:5Coft8Shp1GXn5v61Zta5C" data-name="Slim Twig">Slim Twig</a>&#39;s live band in support of his album &#39;Thanks for Sticking With the Twig&#39;, and both Crist and Bezic shred in Toronto “supergroup” <a href="spotify:artist:1q5qtATgrP7RKMIU6rVtpX" data-name="Darlene Shrugg">Darlene Shrugg</a>.
