Our favorite Danish group, Iceage are back with another song that will appear on their forthcoming album Seek Shelter. The band are releasing their new single/video, “Shelter Song,” which features the Lisboa Gospel Collective.
Seek Shelter is due out May 7th on Mexican Summer. Watch the Catherine Pattinama Coleman-directed video above.
Coleman shared a statement via the press release:
Iceage asked me if I wanted to direct the video for ‘Shelter Song.’ As a childhood friend of theirs, it was important for me to showcase our friendship and the people we share everyday life with. So instead of making a video full of symbolism or a staged performance, I wanted to make a private and personal video close to our hearts. After a crazy year of COVID-19, the world in flames and structural racism peaking at such an extent, I wanted to create a meaningful piece, especially being a woman of color and fully in my third trimester. In the midst of a pandemic it’s important to remember that those of us who are privileged enough to have a roof over our heads, food, security, love and care, is something of great value. Love is not something one should not take for granted.
