Iceage Release New Single, “Balm of Gilead” http://mat-r.co/balmofgilead
North American Tour in Support of Beyondless Kicks Off Tonight
(Photo credit - Christian Freidlander)
Iceage continue to tour in support of their most celebrated album yet, Beyondless, released this past spring via Matador. In honor of their North American tour kicking off tonight, Iceage offer the new ramshackle romp, “Balm of Gilead.” “Balm of Gilead” continues to showcase the “twisted glamor” (Pitchfork) for which Iceage is known. The track is a striking reassurance of the band’s ability to create a confident art rock anthem in a dark age. “Balm of Gilead” is part of a split 7” with tourmates Black Lips. It will be available in physical form exclusively at the shows on this tour.
Iceage — Elias Bender Rønnenfelt (vocals, lyrics), Jakob Tvilling Pless (bass), Dan Kjær Nielsen (drums), and Johan Wieth (guitar) — will return to their quartet format on this North American run. Fans can expect a taste of new music on top of the band’s beloved catalog.

Praise for Beyondless: "[Beyondless] seeks release in letting loose, in the pleasure music can give from
creating wild, anarchic spaces within the framework of pop music song structures. There's an art to summoning up chaos and an equal reward in keeping that chaos
under control.” — Fresh Air
“On their astonishing fourth album, [Iceage] reach for pop-gothic grandeur with more tenacity and abandon than ever.” — Pitchfork [Best New Music]
"Beyondless’s achievement is that it preserves what made Iceage powerful and unique while allowing that character to mature into a sound that feels older, wiser, and more
emotionally expansive.” — Vulture
"[Beyondless] feels like the long-awaited delivery on the promise this band has always possessed, the moment when they could rise to the next echelon of today’s indie
landscape.” — Stereogum [Album of the Week]
“'Beyondless' is wonderful. . . Iceage are the greatest rock and roll band in the world.”
— Noisey
