About this album

Icehouse is a sharp, early new wave statement from the Australian band formerly known as Flowers. Released in 1980, the album fused rock momentum with taut electronic textures and crisp pop songwriting, setting the stage for the group’s later international profile. Anchored by songs such as “Can’t Help Myself”, it helped define the local post-punk and synth-pop conversation with a sound that was lean, immediate and melodically strong rather than ornate. The record’s mix of energy and restraint made it one of the key Australian albums of its era, and the success of its best-known single gave Flowers a lasting place in the country’s rock history.
