Iceage: "You can't write with the opinions of fucking people in the back of your head"

Iceage frontman Elias Bender Rønnenfelt has always been someone who asks the kind of questions many would be afraid to. Having been in the spotlight since the Danish band formed in 2008, when their average age was just 17 years old, Elias has always felt like a voice that was born for the wrong era. For his audience though, it's perfect timing. After all, who else is asking questions like that?

Four years since the last Iceage release, rather fittingly they're poised to return with their fourth album 'Beyondless'. Though for many, 2014's ‘Plowing Into The Field of Love' heralded the most ambitious, and together, album Iceage had made to date.

So how do they one-up the album that's near enough come to define them? Well, they've created a record based on the idea of a word that actually doesn't exist. Just to, you know, keep us on our toes.

It's this that sets Iceage apart; they have the understanding that the world isn't something you should take at face value, and nor should you kill yourself to try to develop it further when there are paving stones set around you.

In the same form Samuel Beckett conjoined words, Iceage marry musical ideas to create an apocalyptic post-punk world that you actually wouldn't mind inhabiting. He delves further into the inspiration by this non-word.
