Untitled

Planet of Ice is the third full-length album from Seattle band Minus the Bear. It was produced and recorded by the band's ex-keyboard player Matt Bayles and Chris Common at their studio, Red Room, in February and March 2007.

It is the first Minus the Bear album to feature new keyboardist Alex Rose, who replaced Bayles after he left to concentrate on his production career.

A video for the song "Knights" was released in August 2007, and can be viewed on the album's website along with a full stream of the album.

A limited run of 2000 colored records was pressed and released by Suburban Home on vinyl imprint, Vinyl Collective.[1] High demand lead to a second pressing, which included a limited edition tour pressing.[2]
