Ice Station

The Race has returned with a distinctly new and vibrant record. Inspired by a recent obsession with all things Russia, singer/guitarist Craig Klein captured the stark, frozen wasteland that is Siberia. The album was recorded in the summer and fall of 2006 with Josh Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv at his studio in Chicago. The two worked closely and meticulously, recording and playing almost everything themselves while bringing in friends to help as needed. In the end, they created something truly different than either had previously produced or even expected. Ice Station is a journey into the unknown. Its goal is to take the listener on an imaginary journey, traveling from 'Odessa to China and back again.'
