Iceage have lived many lives since they emerged in 2011 as cold, industrial brutalists on their debut album New Brigade. They expanded their stylistic range on the follow-up You’re Nothing, and reinvented themselves as Nick Cave heirs and scribbled poetry dark romantics on their sweeping third album Plowing Into The Field Of Love. On their fourth record, Beyondless, released earlier this year, the Danes have both consolidated their progress and stepped forward. The album mixes the force and violence of their early work with the cabaret glamour of Plowing, with songwriting that stands out as their best yet. They bring it to Debaser in September.
