Icy Demons is an experimental music project started by

Elephant 6-associated label Cloud Recordings
, Tears of a Clone on Eastern Developments Music, and Miami Ice on the label started by Rodriguez and Powell called Obey Your Brain.

Influences and style

Demons can be seen as a continuation of the Canterbury scene, which involved acts like Soft Machine and Robert Wyatt. They do, however, move into new ground by mixing this Canterbury style with a noticeable Krautrock influence, especially that of Can.[2] Some melodic lines and rhythmic patterns are strongly reminiscent of Frank Zappa's compositions. Other similar acts include Aksak Maboul, Pit er Pat, Pop-off Tuesday, Lightning Bolt, and Cheer-Accident.
