You’ll remember earlier this year Iceage visited New York to play two shows and help present the ‘Thrown Together‘ gallery event, an art exhibition featuring some artworks from their friends local and global. Los Angeles-based artist/photographer/director/label boss Cali Thornhill Dewitt came along for the ride and produced a striking short film tracking the band’s activities that weekend in the city & shots of the visuals on display, set to live audio of “Morals” from ‘You’re Nothing‘  – you can watch this below or at Pitchfork.TV today.

Iceage are on tour right now and will be in the states at the end of the month. Pick up ‘You’re Nothing‘ at the Matador store or your favorite music retailler.

Watch the video for “Ecstasy” directed by Catherine Pattinama Coleman.

You’re Nothing on the Matador Store
iceagecopenhagen.blogspot.com

… and just like that, Iceage’s sophomore album, ‘You’re Nothing’ is available worldwide  in all modern-day conceptions of music retailler (Matador store, Insound, Amazon, iTunes & of course your local indie).   The New York Times have dropped some praise on the album’s “coiled contraptions, unruly by design” whereas Pitchfork, awarding their ‘Best New Music’ tag note Iceage coming off “even younger, wilder, and more chaotic than on their 2011 debut, but also more experienced and nuanced” & SPIN chimes in: “smarter, faster, catchier and noisier than their debut“”.

Grab a sneak peak of the album over at AbsolutePunk, where they’re streaming the album for a week.

Then, see Iceage on tour.  Oh yeah & buy the record, you’ll love it.

This week Pitchfork is giving readers the chance to hear Iceage’s artpunk tour de fuck-everything You’re Nothing via the site’s new Advance series. The album is streaming in its entirety.

You’re Nothing is out next week and available for pre-order.

This past weekend, New Yorkers were privileged to have the opportunity to see not one but two Iceage shows, and before the band heads back to Denmark they’ll be playing one more time in the form of a live session for the listeners of Seattle’s KEXP. Please join them at 12:00 noon EST/9:00AM PST as they bring both the noise and the ruckus to John Richards’s Morning Show. If you’re in Seattle, you can tune in at 90.3FM, while others can listen online at KEXP.org.

If you like what yu hear, please consider pre-ordering Iceage’s Matador debut, You’re Nothing, at our online store; not only is it 15% off, but you also get a poster and a flag.

Here’s another taste of Iceage‘s forthcoming longplayer, ‘You’re Nothing‘, this time in visual format: “Ecstasy“, directed by Catherine Pattinama Coleman and filmed in Copenhagen.

‘You’re Nothing‘ is out on February 19 (in North America, 18 elsewhere) – preorder it here and get an exclusive Iceage logo flag & poster (while supplies last). “Ecstasy”, “Coalition” & exclusive b-side “A Rifle” will also appear on an Escho 7″, out on February 5, and available via import in limited quantity at the Matador Store now.

Also, a reminder that Iceage are playing twice in New York this weekend. The 285 Kent show in Brooklyn is now sold out. Show up early on Saturday 1/26 to get into to the ‘Thrown Together‘ art event curated by Iceage & friends, it’s bound to be memorable experience that’ll sell out before you can blink.  Those 200 attendees of the show will receive these one-of-a-kind handprinted tickets (tickets only available day of the show at the gallery: doors 6pm)

And for everyone else, find Iceage’s extensive tourdates below. (more…)

When we initially announced the release of the new Iceage album You’re Nothing we mentioned that pre-orders would include a band designed poster in addition to being 15% off.  Taking a good idea and making it great, instead of a band designed poster we are now offering a up a band designed flag, and for you poster aficionados we will still be throwing in a regular poster to boot.

The flag which measures 12×8″ and includes a heading and grommets can be seen below.

The band will also find themselves on US shores this week for a few shows, including:

Thursday Jan. 24 Middletown, CT – Electric House

Friday Jan. 25 Brooklyn, NY – 285 Kent (sold out)

Saturday Jan. 26 New York, NY – Home Sweet Home  “Thrown Together” event details

Fans should also be sure to check out Iceage’s blog on Thursday morning as well as back here for another special announcement pertaining to the band.

We’ve already told you a bit about Iceage‘s new record ‘You’re Nothing‘ that’s out in a little over a month (February 19 to be precise,pre-order it) and today we have some audio evidence to back up any of the effusive claims we have and will be making about this amazing record.

Download or listen to Iceage’s “Coalition“

In addition, there will be a very special event entitled “Thrown Together” featuring performances and artwork by Iceage as well as their peers, inspirations, collaborators and friends at Manhattan’s Home Sweet Home and the Fig. 19 gallery upstairs.
