Last we heard from Iceage, the Danish punk-rock group had released their fifth studio album, Seek Shelter, last year. Today, they are announcing a new compilation album called Shake The Feeling: Outtakes & Rarities 2015-2021, and it’s out September 23 via Mexican Summer. In tandem with the announcement, Iceage are sharing the title track and a video directed by Alex Cantouris.
Comprising non-LP cuts (or, “misfit children,” as singer Elias Bender Rønnenfelt says), Shake The Feeling features songs recorded during the band’s last three album cycles: 2014’s Plowing Into The Field Of Love, 2018’s Beyondless (2018), and the aforementioned Seek Shelter. Meanwhile, “Shake The Feeling” was written and recorded during the Beyondless sessions and at the time was left off for being too “happy go lucky.”
As Rønnenfelt explains:
We thought this one to be a little too “nice” and well behaved at the time. I didnʼt want to learn the song, so I ended up improvising on the final take we did before abandoning it. In hindsight, I find the song to be completely sprawling with an impulsiveness difficult to capture on purpose. It has some of the guitar work Iʼm personally most proud of.
Listen to and watch “Shake The Feeling” below.
