Swedish indie-pop band
Shout Out Louds have announced the release of their sixth studio album '
House'.aired dropped
Produced by our old pal Björn Yttling (Peter Bjorn & John) and recorded in Stockholm last year, the album will be out February 18 2022 via Bud Fox/Integral/[PIAS].
From the band: “When it came time to record these songs, we took them from our small underground rehearsal space to Ingrid Studio in Stockholm, to work once again with our friend Björn Yttling – who is the master of getting rid of anything unnecessary – in pursuit of the sound of the night. We were determined to maintain the raw simplicity we found when writing these songs, that up-close and intimate feeling. Like being at home, safe and warm in a small room with friends. Devoid of multiple layers and illustrious decorations, the songs are what they are – stripped back, honest, and bare. When someone shifts position, you hear it. An exhale? It’s there. Wide-open sounds and an intimately personal perspective meet in this album. And together they create ‘House’.”
“‘As Far Away As Possible’ had to do with that sensation of being stuck, of longing for a break from the hum-drum of the day-to-day,” noted the band, in regards to the albums’ opening track and lead single. “Maybe a drink, a night out, a simple slip out the back door. Or something more. Anything really. Anything other than this. By dreaming of being as far away as possible, this song shines a light in the expansive darkness.” Feelings most of us can relate to after 18 months of lockdowns, closures, and travel restrictions.
