Iceage have shared details of their fifth album.
'Seek Shelter' will arrive on May 7 via Mexican Summer and includes the newly shared single Vendetta, plus the previously released The Holding Hand among its nine tracks.
The latest cut's dark, slow-burning bluesy groove is anchored by hard-hitting programmed beats, and comes paired with a Jonas Bang-director video starring the Danish punks alongside actor Zlatko Burić. Discussing the track, frontman Elias Bender Rønnenfelt said:
"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."
The follow-up to 2018's 'Beyondless' was recorded in a vintage studio in Namouche, Lisbon over 12 days, the longest the band have spent on a record. For the first time, they enrolled an outside producer, Sonic Boom, aka Pete Kember of Spacemen 3.
Rønnenfelt added: "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."
'Seek Shelter' tracklist:
1. Shelter Song
2. High & Hurt
3. Love Kills Slowly
4. Vendetta
5. Drink Rain
6. Gold City
7. Dear Saint Cecilia
8. The Wider Powder Blue
9. The Holding Hand
