NEWS - ICEAGE announce new album "For Love of Grace & the Hereafter" | Out May 29th on Mexican Summer | Share new single "Ember"
Produced and mixed by the band and Nis Bysted, For Love of Grace & the Hereafter is Iceage’s tightest album to date, even glossy at times, but not tight enough to dull its pulse. With wordless howls, nastily detuned riffs that bend into harmony, breakdowns, handclaps, and a chaotic choral break seemingly played on pennywhistles, For Love of Grace & the Hereafter is a showcase of the band’s fundamental curiosity and trust in their instincts. There is no affectation or prescription to this record - no palette of curated influence or sought sound. It is the sum total of inspirations, shared openly in the name of playing and playing’s pleasures.
Over 18 years and five studio albums, Iceage - Rønnenfelt, guitarist Johan Suurballe Wieth, drummer Dan Kjær Nielsen, guitarist Casper Morilla Fernandez, and bassist Jakob Tvilling Pless - have worked inside the idea of collapse. It is a way of playing, singing and songwriting, almost falling apart and pulling together at once - a tumbling through life in song, catching it as it goes.
