Synopsis
"Ice Disco" unfolds as a vivid, psychedelic dance between color and motion. Swirling abstract patterns transform into rainbow-colored trees, prismatic butterflies and other shifting shapes, while a multicolored girl meets a partner with a disco ball for a head. The imagery moves continuously with the music, creating a playful, dreamlike world that feels part animated fantasy, part kaleidoscopic dance floor. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the video emphasizes visual transformation, rhythm and the joyful collision of nature-inspired imagery with disco iconography.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was released in March 2012, even though "Ice Disco" appeared on Low In The Sky's 2011 album "A Shared Rainbow." It was presented as a newly created clip rather than a contemporary promotional video for the album's original release.
- "Ice Disco" is a short track, running for approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds on "A Shared Rainbow."
- Low In The Sky were an Akron, Ohio trio whose music combined live instrumentation with electronic elements. That hybrid approach is reflected in the video's meeting of organic imagery, such as trees and butterflies, with synthetic color effects and disco imagery.
- The clip's central dance partner has a disco ball for a head, turning a familiar club symbol into a character. The idea gives the otherwise abstract visuals a simple focal point without imposing a conventional storyline.
- The video's constantly changing colors and forms complement the bright, playful character associated with "A Shared Rainbow," an album described in contemporary coverage as sunny, energetic and packed with guitar and synthesizer textures.
- "A Shared Rainbow" was associated with the Abandon Building and Pattern Based labels. Low In The Sky had multiple releases connected to Abandon Building's catalog.
