The 14 Iced Bears are nothing more than just another remnant of what the tail end of the 1980s produced.

 'Love On A Sugar Mountain' ... so inserted into the British Indie Pop context that it could become one of its symbols.

While not a groundbreaking hub of the movement, the band successfully delivers engaging tracks reminiscent of British and US indie influences. Highlights include the anthemic 'Hold On,' the pop staple 'Love On A Sugar Mountain,' and the psychedelic-tinged 'Red Now.' Despite its quality, the album feels like a modest artifact of its fertile era rather than a fully realized classic. Dive into 14 Iced Bears' Wonder and discover a jangly indie pop classic with subtle psychedelic flair!
