Iceage announce new album with lead cut "Vendetta"
Iceage are back with news of their fifth album Seek Shelter, and have shared new cut "Vendetta" to accompany the announcement.
"Vendetta" is the second new track from Iceage this year, following "The Holding Hand" that landed earlier this month and accompanied news of the band signing to Mexican Summer.
Lead vocalist Elias Bender Rønnenfelt comments, "Crime is the undercurrent that runs through everything. If you don’t see it, you’re not looking. In its invincible politics, it is the glue that binds it all together. "Vendetta" is an impartial dance along the illicit lines of infraction."
Seek Shelter will follow the Danish band's 2018 album Beyondless, and was produced by Sonic Boom (Pete Kember of Spacemen 3), marking the first time the band have enlisted an outside producer.
The band recorded their new album across 12 weeks at Lisbon's Namouche vintage studio, and is the longest time that Iceage have spent making an album.
Rønnenfelt adds, "When we started, I think we were just lashing out, completely blindfolded with no idea as to why and how we were doing anything. For Seek Shelter, we had a definite vision of how we wanted the album to be carved out, yet still the end result came as a surprise in terms of where we sonically were able to push our boundaries."
