Marching Church Share New Single ‘Lion’s Den’

Copenhagen’s Marching Church, the onetime solo project and now bona fide band formed by Elias Bender Rønnenfelt (best known as the lead singer of Iceage), recently confirmed details of their second album, Telling It Like It Is, set for release on October 28th. Following the release of debut single, “Heart of Life” last month the band now share “Lion’s Den.” Impeccably produced, “Lion’s Den” showcases the players’ inherent chemistry as well as each individual’s musical dexterities. And Bender Rønnenfelt confidently presents his vocal range like never before. Together, these songs further prove Telling It Like It Is is Marching Church at their most focused and committed — thematically unified and cohesive song arrangements, and a great deal of swagger.

The band in 2016 is comprised of Rønnenfelt and frequent collaborator and Iceage bandmate Johan S. Weith (electric viola, guitar), Lower’s rhythm section of Kristian Emdal (bass) and Anton Rothstein (drums), Jakob Emil Lamdahl (trumpet) and Hand of Dust’s Bo Høyer Hansen (guitar). Augmenting these sessions are Maaike Van der Linde (flute) and Thora Sveinsdottir (strings) of the Stargaze Orchestra, and the Choir of Young Believers’ Sonja La Bianca (saxophone), all coordinated with overall production by Escho’s Nis Bysted.
