ICEAGE
For Love Of Grace & The Hereafter (Mexican Summer)
Early on, Iceage were a shock to the system: nihilistic teenage hardcore punks who cloaked themselves in a frisson of dangerousness through selling branded knives at their merch desk and – whether knowingly or not – flirting with fascist aesthetics. But then came a questionable reinvention as sophisticates and the grander Tindersticks pretensions of 2014’s Plowing Into The Field Of Love and its two successors, which saw the Danes metaphorically squeezed into ill-fitting suits as though for a court appearance.
Anyone hoping that a reunion with Nis Bysted, co-producer of Iceage’s first two albums, might signal a return to their thrillingly feral intensity is destined to be largely disappointed. For Love Of Grace & The Hereafter undoubtedly has its moments – not least the Idlewild-melodic Tender Blades, the taut-and-spiky-as-barbed-wire Holy Water, and rock‘n’roll ripper The Weak, complete with atonal recorder solo. But they still sound somewhat defanged and declawed; originally out on their own, Iceage are now part of the postpunk pack.

KIEFER SUTHERLAND
Grey (Maple Creek)
Kiefer Sutherland may have had a 30-year Hollywood career behind him when he released his first album, but Grey – his fourth record, marking a decade since that debut – is a rich soundtrack for balmy summer nights, fusing heartland country with raw Americana storytelling to deliver what his fans didn’t know they needed.
Trading his usual high-octane energy for a comforting slow-burn, nowhere is Sutherland’s storytelling sharper than on Goodbye California,a bittersweet standout track capturing the bittersweet ache of outgrowing the city where you began.Positioned early in the tracklist, it sets a high bar – what follows struggles to live up to it.
As perfect as it is within its lane, the album narrows its own horizons from truly breaking new ground by keeping so closely to its genre; it ultimately creates an easy listening comfort zone that doesn’t quite take you anywhere. It may never find a home on the radio or in arenas, but it’s exactly what you’ll want playing on every summer windows-down drive.
