Shout Out Louds Announce New LP 'House', Stream "As Far Away As Possible"

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.

New Entry: L.F.T. Unveils New Single "Smell Of Metal"

Hamburg-based electro/wave DJ/producer Johannes Haas aka L.F.T. has unveiled his new single "Smell Of Metal".

The song is taken from his forthcoming sophomore album 'Salz', which will be available on November 12 through Mannequin Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Haas is obviously one of the resident artists at Golden Pudel Club, being blessed by a collaborative friendship with the mighty Helena Hauff, and also running also the label 'Neoprimitive' with Lukas, focusing mostly on experimental music.

Pursuing a stubborn D-I-Y aesthetic with an extensive use of lo-fi technology, over compressed drum machines and tapes, over the last two years L.F.T. has released several records on different labels like Helena Hauff's Return To Disorder and Elena Colombi's Osaré Editions

Endorsing a distinctive contemporary sound, 'Salz' is moving forward to an highly authentic mixture of electro and synthwave, with a lo-fi analog power blended all over his tracks, somewhere between Liaisons Dangereuses, I-F and Bakterielle Infektion, bringing us back - and fresh as never before - the amazing early days of CBS Radio - now Intergalactic Fm.
