About The Icicle Works

The Icicle Works are an English alternative rock band and were named after the 1960 short story “The Day the Icicle Works Closed” by science fiction author Frederik Pohl. They are best known in their home country for their only top 20 UK hit “Love Is a Wonderful Colour” (1983). In the US and Canada, they had only one top 40 hit, the 1984 single “Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly)”.

Led by singer/songwriter Ian McNabb, the band released five albums from 1984 to 1990 before breaking up in 1991.
