Iceage Debut “You’re Blessed” Video
Danish punk rockers Iceage debuted a new video for their track “You’re Blessed” from their album New Brigade.
“New Brigade is a refreshing and extraordinary debut. These four have located a punk-rock sweet spot: mixing the black atmosphere of goth, the wild-limbed whoosh of hardcore, and the clangor of post-punk. It’s a feat made all the more impressive by one very important intangible: energy. . . the energy in every atom of New Brigade’s charred, sub-25-minute rush is seductive.” – David Bevan, Pitchfork [Best New Music]
“Sonically dense and manically focused, but with an intriguing looseness about its churn, the album bathes a pileup of punk sub-styles in the flickering shadow of goth.” – Nate Chinen, The New York Times
“On their U.S. debut, these Danish youngsters deliver a 12-song, 24-minute call to arms — and one of the loudest, most thoroughly engaging noise-punk albums you’ll hear this year. . . New Brigade is one of those rare records that catches both the admiration of gallery-going, MFA-toting art snobs and fiercely DIY-minded high-school dropouts.” – SPIN.com [Best Albums of 2011… So Far]
“The first few seconds of the very young Copenhagen post-punk band Iceage’s first single, ‘White Rune,’ are some of the most exciting in rock music this year. A repeating creak of noise (maybe a guitar effect, maybe a treated sample); a relentless kick drum; a baritone voice doused in cheap echo. It stays twitchy and menacing for a few bars, then the drums really kick in and the song writhes to life, revealing one of the most ferocious new rock bands to emerge in years.” – August Brown, Los Angeles Times’ Pop & Hiss
