Шаблон:ForШаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Icehouse is the first album released by the Australian rock/synthpop band Flowers, later known as Icehouse, on the independent label Regular Records in October 1980.[1] The title and the artist are sometimes incorrectly swapped, because the band changed their name from Flowers to Icehouse after this album was released. Containing the Top 20 Australian hits "Can't Help Myself", "We Can Get Together" and "Walls"; the album made heavy use of synthesisers, which would continue to be used throughout the band's career.[2][3] Founder Iva Davies wrote all the tracks including four co-written with keyboardist Michael Hoste, however Hoste was replaced during recording sessions by Anthony Smith.[1][4]
In October 2010, Icehouse (1980) by Flowers was listed in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums.[5]
