Iceage frontperson Elias Rønnenfelt has announced his second solo album, following last year’s Heavy Glory. Speak Daggers arrives October 17, via Escho, and features reggae all-timers the Congos and Copenhagen artists Erika de Casier and Fine. Watch the Fousheé-directed video for new single “USA Baby” below.
Rønnenfelt and Fousheé recently linked up on “Little Gods,” one of two songs Rønnenfelt recorded with Yung Lean, who operated under his Jonatan Leandoer96 alias. Since then, the Iceage man has reunited with his Lucre EP collaborators, Dean Blunt and Vegyn, for “Tears on His Rings and Chains.” Malian guitarist Bassekou Kouyate is credited as a composer on “USA Baby.”
