Collaborators include Iceage's Dan Kjær Nielsen, Danish punk godfather Peter Peter, and singers Joanne Robertson (Elias and Joanne have collaborated before, on a number of recent Dean Blunt releases) and Fauzia. \"I've done this so many times,\" Rønnenfelt explains, speaking of the process of crafting a long player, \"but capturing and crystallising an album remains a singular ritual, just with different circumstances. We are capturing something that is hard to hold down.\" \u003ci\u003eHeavy Glory \u003c\/i\u003eis a record that examines all the things that lovers do, from the most desperate to the most pure. The lover haunts the record, reappearing and provoking Rønnenfelt, pulling him in and pushing him away. Songs like \"Close\" describe the line between jealousy and protectiveness. \"Unarmed\" is a song of surrender. \"River of Madeleine\" harnesses toughness in the name of preservation, staying up all night to protect his lover's dreams. \"Stalker\" is an epic third-person story song in the tradition of the murder ballad. The record closes with two covers. The first, Spacemen 3's \"Sound of Confusion,\" is a mission statement of the life Rønnenfelt has found and inherited in music. \"Here it comes,\" the song famously promises, and flares out into noise. It is a joyful noise, because this life, in all its grit, is the life he chose. The second, Townes Van Zandt's \"No Place to Fall,\" is a sweet plea, Rønnenfelt's final invitation to join him on his journey. This journey - this story, this record - will repeat and continue. It never stops. Rønnenfelt's life as an artist results in a sound that wobbles and rocks but never loses its centre, both fragile and tough, and always moving forward. It is dreamy yet bombastic, held together by the passion of certainty. Co-produced by Rønnenfelt and Nis Bysted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Escho","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50420613611851,"sku":"2223028","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Heavy_Glory_a4d1b72d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726753299"},{"product_id":"speak-daggers","title":"Speak Daggers","description":"\u003cp\u003eLess than a year after the release of his debut album \u003cem\u003eHeavy Glory\u003c\/em\u003e, Elias returns with his sophomore album.
