Copenhagen\u2019s\u00a0Iceage\u00a0unveil a new single\/video, Shelter Song<\/em>, lifted from their new album,\u00a0\u2018<\/strong>Seek Shelter,\u2019 out\u00a0May <\/a><\/strong>7th\u00a0<\/strong>via Mexican Summer. Following Vendetta<\/a><\/em> and The Holding Hand<\/em>, Shelter Song<\/em> opens the record with a dirge-like drone that gives way to a wall of reverb. It sounds fuller and brighter than anything they’ve committed to tape, signalling a clarity of clouds breaking.\u00a0Elias Bender R\u00f8nnenfelt\u2019s\u00a0instantly recognizable voice is joined by the\u00a0Lisboa Gospel Collective, who add an anthemic swell: \u201cCome lay here right beside me \/\/ They kick you when you’re up, they knock you when you’re down \/\/ Some shielding from the fighting \/\/ They beat you from the left, they hit you from the right \/\/ Come lay here right beside me.\u201d<\/em> The video was directed by longtime friend and collaborator\u00a0Catherine Pattinama Coleman, who has worked with the band on two previous videos. It offers a rare, intimate look into the band\u2019s life in Copenhagen amongst family and friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coleman elaborates: \u201cIceage asked me if I wanted to direct the video for \u2018Shelter Song.\u2019 As a childhood friend of theirs, it was important for me to showcase our friendship and the people we share everyday life with. So instead of making a video full of symbolism or a staged performance, I wanted to make a private and personal video close to our hearts. After a crazy year of COVID-19, the world in flames and structural racism peaking at such an extent, I wanted to create a meaningful piece, especially being a woman of color and fully in my third trimester. In the midst of a pandemic it\u2019s important to remember that those of us who are privileged enough to have a roof over our heads, food, security, love and care, is something of great value. Love is not something one should not take for granted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
