Danish group
Iceage have revealed details of their sixth studio album.
'For Love of Grace & the Hereafter' will arrive on 29th May through Mexican Summer, with new single
'Ember' out now.
'Ember' opens the forthcoming record and follows previously shared track '
Star'. A video for the single, directed by the band alongside Ira Rønnenfelt, accompanies the release.
For the album sessions, Iceage returned to Silence Studio in rural Sweden near the Norwegian border — a location they last used over a decade ago when recording 2014's '
Plowing Into the Field of Love'. It remains the only studio the five-piece have revisited throughout their career.
Nis Bysted handled production and mixing duties alongside the band, with the group opting for a stripped-back approach: live decision-making, full takes with minimal overdubs, and lyrics penned just weeks before entering the studio.
Vocalist
Elias Rønnenfelt explains the thinking behind this approach: "The songs needed to be immediate, urgent, raw, and fast. We wanted to try to shed any unnecessary weight. Catching outlets of energy is what excites us the most."
