Artist: Shout Out Louds
Album: Work
Label: Merge
Genre: Indie
These Swedish indie darlings are back with a third, more mature album . The type of earnest synth-rock that gave the Shout Out Louds’ an indie hit with their song “The Comeback” is still audible on opener “1999”. The songs lack bite, but if you’re into glossy indie-pop (they share a producer with the Shins and Band of Horses) you’re in for a treat. The sound is darker than their previous albums but it comes off as Phoenix-meets-The Cure. Overall this album is a pleasant listen- one that won’t make a much of an impression in the long run, but it’s worth giving it a chance. Shout Out Louds have always been a singles band, and although that statement rings true on Work as well, this is the closest they've come to crafting a cohesive album.
