Iceage

For Love of Grace s tightest album to date, even glossy at times, but not tight enough to dull its pulse. With wordless howls, nastily detuned riffs that bend into harmony, breakdowns, handclaps, and a chaotic choral break seemingly played on pennywhistles, For Love of Grace s fundamental curiosity and trust in their instincts.Produced and mixed by the band (Rnnenfelt, Dan Kjr Nielsen, Jakob Tvilling Pless, Johan S. Weith, and Casper Morilla Fernandez) and Nis Bysted, For Love of Grace s Plowing Into the Field of Love at the same studio; its no coincidence its the only time they have returned to a studio to cut a record. The band wanted to capture the same intense energy.The band leaned on their experiences and the thousands of hours on stages theyve shared since they were teenagers. The setup was as minimal as possible: making decisions live and not overthinking, patient full takes with minimal overdubs. The lyrics were written only a few weeks before entering the studio to prevent the overall picture from being too fragmented and to increase the sense of risk and urgency.For Love of Grace s both fun and as serious as ever, growing and glowing through love. There is no affectation or prescription to this recordno palette of curated influence or sought sound. It is the sum total of inspirations, shared openly in the name of playing and playings pleasures.
