According to Iceage, the band will have “more new music coming soon”, but till then, we have news of a US tour, as well as a track and video for “The Lord’s Favorite“, posted yesterday to Matador’s YouTube channel. The video is directed by Cali Thornhill DeWitt, and it features the band’s singer Elias Bender Rψnnenfelt hanging out at the Iglesia de Cristo drinkin’ “one hundred Euro wine”. It’s not easy being God’s favorite, but Rψnnenfelt dons the mantle with just the right amount of ironic aplomb! Iceage has a few upcoming European live dates in August, before returning to the US for a fairly extensive tour in October and November. You can check out the dates after the video embed…
