Iceage have delivered new song "Gold City" as a third taster of their Seek Shelter album landing next month.

"Gold City" follows last month's album opener "Shelter Song", and will appear on the Copenhagen-based band's new album alongside their lead single "Vendetta".

Lead vocalist Elias Bender Rønnenfelt comments, "At home and enraptured in the fleeting moment, the sky becomes technicolor in its makeshift lucidity. A culmination made so that everything felt briefly complete. Traffic lights and the setting sun through a polluted filter, shimmering and golden."

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 says of the album, "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."

"Gold City" is out now. Iceage's Seek Shelter album will land via Mexican Summer on 7 May, and is available to pre-order now. They're due to play London's Electric Ballroom on 31 March 2022. Visit iceagecopenhagen.eu/tour for tickets.
