Iceage announce new album, Beyondless

Iceage have announced a new album. On May 4, the Danish post-punk band will release Beyondless via Matador. The album’s announcement follows the release of their recent single “Catch It,” and today they’ve shared another new single, “Pain Killer,” which features Sky Ferreira. Listen to the new track below.

The album announcement was accompanied by an essay written by punk legend Richard Hell. “I can totally imagine myself as a kid lying in my closed-door room in the dark, listening to this band and getting what I need, the way a band can make a person feel seen and bring confidence, sometimes even represent an ideal,” he writes. “Or maybe I’m already all defiant and self-certain, and I identify with Iceage because they are too, and they’re who I want to represent me in music.” Read the full essay here, and take a look at the band’s upcoming tour dates below, include some newly announced residencies in Kyoto/Tokyo, New York and Los Angeles.

Beyondless follows 2014’s Plowing Into the Field of Love.
