"Given Iceage's tendency to treat each new album as an 'evolutionary jump and a new vein of playing,' 'Star' is something novel amid their five-record discography. Yes, Iceage have written love songs before (gritty, pained ones mostly), but with jangly energy, hand-claps galore, and a slightly more animated approach, 'Star' really does shine as a beacon for the band's next 'era.'"
"The Danish band's latest single, 'Star,' marks their first release since 2021's great Seek Shelter. (A rarities album, Shake the Feeling, dropped in 2022.) The song also follows a series of solo releases from frontman Elias Rønnenfelt, including 2025's Speak Daggers and 2024's Heavy Glory."
Iceage has returned with 'Star,' their first single since 2021's Seek Shelter album. The Danish band's frontman Elias Rønnenfelt has released solo projects in recent years, including 2025's Speak Daggers and 2024's Heavy Glory. 'Star' represents a departure from Iceage's previous work, featuring jangly energy, hand-claps, and a more animated approach compared to their typical gritty love songs. The single showcases the band's characteristic approach of treating each album as an evolutionary jump into new musical territory. The accompanying music video was directed by Thinh T. Petrus Nguyen. 'Star' is released via Mexican Summer, with anticipation building for the announcement of Iceage's sixth studio album.
