has stepped up to press a US version of Iceage's full-length debut "New brigade" and will be releasing it in a special vinyl-only edition with two extra bonus tracks.
Today is the release of Iceage's debut full-length "New brigade", available on vinyl via and CD/digital via , is the first great new release of 2011. Knowing that Peter Peter of The Sods/Sort Sol produced their self-titled 7" and that it was subsequently picked up by MRR as a band-to-watch should give you a good idea of where these kids are coming from, but just in case, let me elaborate: Iceage are a group of Danish kids in their late teens playing tense postpunk as if the last 30 years of music never happened. There's no "tryhard" feeling to it either, it really does sound like these dudes naively picked up instruments and the sounds you hear are exactly what came out. No false affection, no retro posturing, all natural rock'n'roll. "White rune" is my favorite tune from said album, but there's plenty more where that came from.
This is the debut single "New brigade" from Danish postpunks Iceage, recent signees to the label. Look for the band's album of the same name to be released on January 10.
