Elias Rønnenfelt – the Danish musician and poet best known as the lead singer and lyricist of Iceage announced his debut solo album Heavy Glory, out October 25th via Escho, and presents the new single “No One Else.” Heavy Glory is the sound of growing up in the world by throwing oneself into the world, made by someone whose only constant companions have been a pen and a guitar. The album tells tales of isolation, excess, and perseverance in the face of chaos.

Heavy Glory first took shape in the spring of 2022, during the curious coda of the pandemic, when the world felt neither open nor closed. Rønnenfelt, “sick and tired of not being able to do what I do,” announced to his fans and friends that he would play shows anywhere in Europe, in any venue, to whoever wanted to hear his music. On the road, Rønnenfelt would write songs and play them the next day. These songs, which form the heart of Heavy Glory, were designed to be played anywhere, and they had to be: they were christened in forests and living rooms, bookstores and chapels.

Following the rollicking country of lead single and album opener “Like Lovers Do,” the single “No One Else” litigates the feelings of love that arrive too late, leaving only memories. The self-directed video features a blindfolded Rønnenfelt riding a horse in the Wyoming plains, wandering the Las Vegas strip, and floating down a lazy river. This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
