Now that I’ve written a short piece about every song on Bridge Ice, I decided to get rid of all the individual posts and put all the writings on the songs into one easy to access page. Here it is.
Besides the fact that Wry Climate is not emo in any way, shape, or form, (don’t get me started on this one) Ben Dennison’s review of Bridge Ice in Dispatch Mag is really nice. Dennison is spot on when it comes to identifying influences … Dinosaur Jr. and The Pixies? Absolutely.
Check out this very cool Wry Climate design by Claire Blanchette.

Xar, longtime friend, who did a handful of shows with my dad and I a few years back had some kind words for Bridge Ice on her exceptionally enjoyable blog, trek for peace: “My friends Dan, Noah, and Jasper played on this album. Dan did the songwriting. And I think it’s damn amazing.” Thanks Xar.
Sophie Schraeter laid down the violin tracks for Wry Climate songs “Pre-Dawn Storm” and “Stolen Street Sign” last spring. Here’s a photo from one of the sessions.
