The long awaited album from Brandon Terrell Isleib, who is the brain behind Restless Mosaic, is also joined by vocalist Chilean Lili Aqvq. Both singers are huge in the YouTube community by being content creators for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI. “Made By Thawing Ice” was named for the mystery it brings and for the initials MBTI and BTI also happens to be the initials for Brandon.
The starting song of the album “A La Cara Amarilla,” is a dark song sung in Spanish, a song about her love for the Minesweepers happy face. The tango-esque track makes you want to get up and do a dramatic dance of love, it makes you feel something as soon as it starts.

The quiet siren like beginning keeps you enthralled in the dark hole that is the song, the track makes you feel everything deep in your soul, it’s something you truly feel.
As the album is coming to an end, it’s closing out with “Shadwan”, another track that makes you feel like you’ve unintentionally woken up in space. The seven minute song ascends you to levels you thought couldn’t be reached without a little help. It’s a quiet song with a powerful voiceless message, “Shadwan” was the perfect was to end this album.
“Made By Thawing Ice” is an album you do not want to miss out on, it’s an album that is surely to change your life. Restless Mosaic will become your favorite if they aren’t already.
