PopMatters reviews Iceage

Iceage live @ WFMU

In case you missed it, Iceage played an in-studio live set for WFMU when they came over for their inaugural US tour: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2011/06/ice-age-at-wfmu-mp3s.html

Iceage is "Best New Music" (again)

More or less as expected, Iceage gets declared "Best New Music" at Pitchfork today with the release of their album "New brigade": http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15576-new-brigade/

Stereogum says Iceage is best of 2011 (so far)

Stereogum lists Iceage's "New brigade" as their #4 album of the year so far: http://stereogum.com/734031/stereogums-top-20-albums-of-2011-so-far/franchises/listomania/
For the record, I have to say that I agree with that Austra album being highly ranked as well -- not Scandinavian, but worth checking out.

Iceage meta hype

Let's get meta: Stereogum comments on the Iceage hype looking for more comments on the Iceage hype: http://stereogum.com/735741/iceage-new-brigade-comment-party-believe-the-hype/mp3s/
Looks to me like the ball is rolling ahead full-steam: Stereogum tagged them as one to watch in March and I did the same previously, way back in January, but full credit of course must go to Layla at MRR for writing them up in March 2010.
