Iceage

Denmark’s Iceage already have two albums of dark punk/post-punk out, and it now seems they’re pulling a The Men by abandoning those dark punk roots for something closer to country punk on their new single “The Lord’s Favorite.” The song’s video (dir. Cali DeWitt) just came out and can be watched below. No exact details on a third album yet but they’re working on one.

The band also announced a North American tour with London experimentalist Helm, who toured the US not long ago with Iceage’s Copenhagen pals Damien Dubrovnik (mem Lust for Youth). That tour culminates in their appearance at Fun Fun Fun Fest and hits NYC on October 12 at Bowery Ballroom, the same venue they played in 2013 with White Lung and Parquet Courts. Tickets for that show will be on sale soon via Ticketmaster.

All dates are listed, with the new video, below…
