In just over two weeks, the world will finally receive Seek Shelter, the new album from Copenhagen-based rockers Iceage. The songs released so far have suggested no end in sight to the group's shapeshifting tendencies: "Vendetta" sounded straight out of early '90s Manchester, "Shelter Song" was an anthem in the vein of Spiritualized, and the stark and apocalyptic "The Holding Hand" was a Nick Cave-esque sermon.
Today we get the latest Iceage track "Gold City," a dusty slice of Americana complete with a harmonica. Have a listen above. In a press statement, band frontman Elias Bender Rønnenfelt had this to say about the song: “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 is out on May 7. The band has revealed a clutch of 2022 tour dates, which you can see below. If you can't wait a year to watch them perform, Iceage will perform Seek Shelter in full for a live stream on May 22, 2021.
On May 22, the band will livestream a concert to celebrate the album's release.
