Last week we skipped Songs of the Week. Most of the music industry was in Austin for SXSW and thus few notable songs were shared last week, leaving us with not enough contenders to even put together a Top 5 we were truly excited about. So this week’s Songs of the Week mainly covers this week, but has a few songs from last week, including the song that would’ve been our #1 last week if we’d done a list. Hence we have a Top 12 this week. More

Interviews

Jun 26, 2026

The answer to what it’s like to see Iceage live isn’t as straightforward as many other bands of their ilk. When a band manages to survive for almost two decades, they usually have settled in their ways by now. Having seen Iceage live several times, they always seem like a scrambled, mercurial version of their previous selves. I’ve seen a hard-hitting, angry-as-fuck Iceage. A darkly romantic, theatrical Iceage. Even an Iceage teetering on the very verge of collapse, only to writhe and claw back to the surface from its withering embers. More

Feb 21, 2013

The second album from Denmark’s Iceage opens with a delicious din. Throw on some headphones and lean into the dense swirl of crackling guitar, deep throb, and clattering drums of “Ecstasy.” Had My Bloody Valentine incorporated economy and aggression into their mix circa Loveless they might have pounded out a similar trail.
