Danish punks turned post-punks Iceage released their new single “Balm of Gilead” on Monday morning ahead of their North American tour co-headlining tour with Black Lips. The new song follows the release of Iceage’s excellent fourth album Beyondless, which came out in May. Spin described the recent full-length as furthering “a fascination with goth Americana” and “the simplistic, emotive melodies of their earliest records and the explosive, multi-instrumentation of their newfound love of texture.”
“Balm of Gilead” will be on the split 7″ with the Black Lips which will be available to purchase exclusively on the tour.
The co-headlining tour kicks off tonight in Vancouver and is scheduled to trek across North America, wrapping up in Atlanta, Georgia on November 24. From there, Iceage plays New York City and then a handful of European dates without Black Lips. Iceage’s tour culminates in London on December 7. Check out the dates below:
