In 2008, her first album,
Necima, was released in September of that year, produced by
Nicolas Vernhes at Rare Book Room Studios in
Brooklyn, New York. The music webzine
Pitchfork wrote of the album: "When Ices and Vernhes find a creative symbiosis, usually on the record's shorter, pop-leaning tracks, the results are spectacular." Critics compared her singing favorably to that of
Kate Bush, and more contemporary artists such as
Feist and
Bat for Lashes, as well as
Tori Amos and
Cat Power. In early 2011, Ices released her second album,
Grown Unknown, which was again mixed at the Rare Book Room Studios in Brooklyn, but released through her new label,
Jagjaguwar Records. She spent six months in
Vermont writing most of the album, and recorded the album at The Clubhouse in
Rhinebeck, New York. The album's second track, "Daphne", features a duet with
Bon Iver frontman,
Justin Vernon. Critics found her voice more relaxed than on her debut album. On April 3, 2012, Jagjaguwar Records released a 7" single of Ices covering
Pink Floyd's "
Wish You Were Here," taken from
Mojo magazine's Pink Floyd October 2011 special edition. The
B-side was another cover, of
Syd Barrett's "
Late Night". Her album,
Ices, followed in September 2014. After a spell concentrating on her growing family, Ices released her latest offering,
Family Album, in January 2021. ==Discography==
