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.

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.

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.

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.
-
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]
