Iceage - For Love of Grace & The Hereafter (2026)

For the previous Iceage album I wrote that they included some pop/indie rock in their post-punk, in their new one, For Love of Grace & The Hereafter, we can hear some post-punk elements left in their indie rock. And despite getting sometimes dangeresously close to cheesy pop punk at times it's still a good and enjoyable album thanks to their always excellent singer and their songwriting skills, their capacity to transmit feelings. Recommended when you'r in the mood for something that isn't heavy.

Iceage - Seek Shelter (2021)

Seek Shelter, the new album from Iceage is a bit disturbing at first (and that's why it took me so long to make up my mind and review it) because they added some indie rock/pop to their post-punk. But since their songwriting skill is still there, and the vocals are as good as usual, it works. Maybe won't stand as my favourite Iceage album, but still an excellent album that I enjoy.

Iceage - Beyondless (2018)

I admit being late for getting familliar with Iceage, probably because for me the hype deserved them. And I first listened to Marching Church the solo project of their singer/guitarist (also excellent in a quite similar vein) But sometimes the hype is right... So "Beyondless" is the first Icage album I review, their fourth one. The Danish band is indeed one of the very best recent band in the post-punk/noise rock scene. In terms of influence The Cure first and then Sonic Youth comes to my mind. But where they do better than the countless bands trying to "sound like" is that they bring some inventivity and diversity (including a clever and subtle use of sax), and have their own specific sound, not only reminding other bands. And they have a truly excellent singer that really brings character to the music. Excellent stuff.
