Iceage

Playing an expressive, and powerfully physical version of rock, Iceage are a Danish quartet who found international renown and a cult of fans while they were still in their teenage years. Iceage was formed in 2008 by singer and guitarist Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, guitarist Johan Suurballe Wieth, bassist Jakob Tvilling Pless, and drummer Dan Kjær Nielsen. They released debut album New Brigade in 2011, a nervy and hard-hitting set that appeared on best-of-the-year lists from Pitchfork to Spin to Uncut and the BBC. The band’s creative direction evolved dramatically over the following seven years and three albums for Matador Records, adding shading to their signature dynamics with horns, keyboards, and acoustic guitars – arrangements that reflected an eclecticism and broadening experience. In 2021, Iceage released Seek Shelter, their fifth album and first for Mexican Summer. For Seek Shelter the band’s eternal edge bears signs of elegant vulnerability via their most expressive songwriting and expansive production to date with production from Spaceman 3s Sonic Boom. Later in 2022, Iceage will release Shake The Feeling: Outtakes & Rarities 2015–2021 exploring deep cuts from Plowing Into The Field Of Love, Beyondless and Seek Shelter.
