It’s been 4 years now since Danish amplified pop darlings Iceage released
their top drawer album Seek Shelter. In 2022, they kept their fans happy
with a collection of rarities and outtakes.

On the other hand, their charismatic leader Elias Rønnenfelt is a busy man.
He wrote a book of poetry, worked with other artists, and released his notable
solo debut LP, named Heavy Glory, last year, in October.

Earlier this year, he shared a couple of stand-alone singles,
and now the news came in that he has recorded a follow-up
full-length. It’s baptized Speak Daggers and comes our way
on October 17. More info here.


Artwork single

Lead single USA BABY is sung from the perspective of a non-American
watching his American girlfriend get messed up by her home country’s
political administration.

Affecting, feverish and magnetic. Top-tier track.

Oh mama, mama come back to me
Streamlined baby in Delaware
Oh, like that and like this and there
Your love’s at range, but only God knows where

Dumb rider of nowhere
La lune regarde, devil may care
Sleepless mon cheri
Hope I’ll land on my feet

Oh my baby’s known better days
They cut her off, that’s how they play
Oh my baby she doesn’t care
In the USA they rip and tear

Hold for famine, gotta get a grip on my soul
There I’ll open damn near every openable hole
Hey hey hey
