Iceage - Seek Shelter

Iceage's unruly energy can be at odds with Seek Shelter's grandeur, but only rarely is this at the expense of the album.

Iceage - Beyondless

Iceage dials down the abrasiveness and theatricality on the still pretty solid Beyondless.

Iceage - "Against The Moon" (NSFW Video)

One of Denmark's greatest noise rock bands goes baroque punk on the track "Against The Moon," which you can catch on their latest full-length album Plowing Into the Field of Love, which is out now via Matador.

The band saw fit to tag some Martin Masai Andersen & Kim Thue-directed visuals to the track, and they're an esoteric exploration into sexuality, age, and regret. Or, well, at least that's how I interpret it anyway.

Iceage - Plowing Into the Field of Love

Danish post-punkers Iceage plow into the field of love with full force, backing up their longest set of songs yet with pianos, strings, and horns.

Iceage - "How Many" / "Glassy Eyed, Dormant And Veiled "

Previously loved Danish post-punk, goth rock, and noise-rock outfit Iceage has been leaving nothing to the imagination on their upcoming album, Plowing Into The Field Of Love. They've been dropping one track after another from it, and the two latest songs showcase the same appreciation for both chaos and finesse that previously released singles like "The Lord's Favorite" do. "How Many" takes Iceage's typically noisy, busy guitars and drums, but some wonderful piano seems to weave its way into the mix. "Glassy Eyed, Dormant and Veiled" is the much more brooding of the two tracks here, and reinforces the Nick Cave influence I was feeling on "Forever" a little while back.

Dig on these two tracks below, and look for this new album via Matador on October 6th.

Iceage - "The Lord's Favorite"

Denmark's Iceage have proven themselves to be savvy in numerous fringe genres across their two full-length records: post-punk, goth rock, noise rock. However, this new--and surprisingly melodic--track of their delves unexpectedly into alt-country, it seems. Everything from the guitar chords to the bassline feels distinctly Western, but Iceage performs it in their trademark sloppiness. Like usual, a good song shines through despite the slurring vocals and loosely played instrumentation. Enjoy!

Lower - "Another Life"

Danish post-punk band Lower has dropped a new track in promotion of some North American tour dates that they have pasted onto the cover art for this song. Observe:

"Another Life" features some intensely busy drums, noisy guitars, and some really bitter vocals. The end result is enough to have me psyched for the band's debut full-length. Stream the band's Walk On Heads EP via the widget below:

Iceage - "Morals" from Copenhagen

Danish punk, post-punk, and noise rock act Iceage releases a session performance of one of my favorite tracks from their latest album, You're Nothing. Morals" is one of the most ballad-like tracks on the album, and it's the beautiful piano chords and steady march of the beat that help make it so.

This session performance of the track is both fierce and passionate, and brings a little more intensity than the album version, I think.
