Refusing to exhaust any momentum gained from the release of their dauntless album, Plowing Into The Field Of Love, Iceage have shared a new video directed by Martin Masai Andersen and Kim Thue for the unsettlingly beautiful track, ‘Against The Moon.’
The noir-instilled narrative muddles the line between affirmation and repentance in the same fashion as Elias Bender Rønnenfelt’s lyrical proclamations of disregard for consequence – “Whatever I do/ I don’t repent/ I keep pissing against the moon.” The video stars revered German actor Dan van Husen, known for appearing in a variety of classic films, including Fellini’s Casanova and Herzog’s Nosferatu the Vampyre, and German actress Missa Blue and Welsh model Louis Backhouse in supporting roles.
Intertwining visual and lyrical professions, this new video for ‘Against The Moon’ and the song itself, is yet another step forward for the Copenhagen four-piece. It is a remarkable glimpse into one of the album’s most conflicted tracks and a perfect reminder of the strength and complexity of Plowing Into the Field Of Love.
Iceage have followed up the recent announcement of Sydney and Brisbane tour dates by adding a Melbourne headline show at Ding Dong Lounge on Friday January 23. The expertly curated supports for all shows have also been revealed.
