May 29, 2026It’s Album of the Year, just 19 years too late.
-
May 28, 2026The result is the sixth fantastic Iceage album: a hugely impressive streak. It leaves you thinking that while the band’s constant development and diversity is striking, their consistency is more striking still.
-
Jun 1, 2026A frenetic burst of sustained creativity, ‘For The Love Of Grace & The Hereafter’ is arresting from the off.
-
Jun 1, 2026Given its reliance on an interconnected blend of styles, For Love of Grace easily comes across as their most distinctly odd album to date–and that’s exactly why it works so well.
-
Jun 15, 2026Be prepared. It’s a chaotic jumble. .... But it works. Elsewhere there are flickers of Fontaines D.C. (on No Fear) and Iggy Pop (Lifetime and Mother-of-Pearl). But this album stands alone. There’s life-affirming joy in its mayhem.
-
Jun 15, 2026In contrast to most artists honing in, this isn’t Iceage taking anything to extremes – quite the opposite, in fact, which for them probably is the unexpected. The record is all the better for it.
-
Record CollectorJun 12, 2026This new offering is a more emotive and tighter take on that approach [on debut New Brigade]. [Jul 2026, p.101]
-
Jun 5, 2026Their latest offering has all the momentum and ramshackle charm of a newly discovered band of the moment showing off their killer new debut.
-
May 29, 2026In many ways, For Love of Grace & the Hereafter is the band's most refined album to date, despite its compulsive and swift development.
-
May 28, 2026Iceage pulls this all together in a surprisingly cohesive record, capped off by brilliantly woozy closer True Blue, showing they're not resting on their laurels just yet.
-
MojoMay 28, 2026Crashes about with a wonderfully unpredictable joie de vivre. [Jul 2026, p.82]
-
UncutMay 28, 2026This sixth album is played ragged and on the brink of collapse, as if Iceage were still teenagers, but with the added weapon of Elias Rønnenfelt's sharpened songwriting. [Jul 2025, p.31]
-
May 28, 2026There’s a newfound lightness here, and even though the amps are still maxed out and the songs aren’t exactly chipper hymns of optimism and renewal, there’s a sense that Iceage is finding hope within the chaos for the first time.
-
Jun 3, 2026If For Love of Grace were a Cave album, I think it would be Henry’s Dream, the one where Cave wrote songs that were as suited to a Brazilian street festival as a Berlin goth club.
-
May 29, 2026For Love can be considered a “reset” album (rather than a “bridge” project). A soul cleanser. An aesthetic detox. In that surrender, that reopening to “beginner’s mind”, the band rediscover themselves, expanding their synergy, their revisionist leanings, and their distinct take on pop theater.
-
May 28, 2026It recalls the kinetic energy of their first two records but possesses the sophistication of their more recent output. Equal parts jangly and muscular, the five-piece forge a new path while staying true to their roots.
