Last year, the unreasonably foxy Iceage frontman Elias Rønnenfelt released Heavy Glory, his first-ever solo album. Earlier this year, Rønnenfelt contributed to Dean Blunt's Lucre EP. Rønnenfelt has plans to tour Europe and North America in the months ahead, and now he's got a brand new solo single called "Carry-On Bag."
Where Elias Rønnenfelt went in a warped country direction on Heavy Glory, he's off on another jag on "Carry-On Bag." There's no country on this one, though it still sounds plenty warped. Rønnenfelt drawls about a risky travel decision: "Try my luck with the carry-on bag/ Carry drugs in the carry-on bag." That sounds stressful! Maybe it's less stressful if you're on enough drugs, though. The music is post-punk, basically. It's serene on the surface, with all sorts of noise and tension constantly threatening to break out. Below, check out Rønnenfelt's self-directed "Carry-On Bag" video and his tour dates.
