I got a free month's worth of eMusic downloads in May as a loyalty bonus, so I bought a few extra albums that month. One of these bonus albums was the third full-length album from the Swedish indie band Shout Out Louds.
I heard a concert by this Swedish indie rock band broadcast on the All Songs Considered Live Concerts podcast, and the show gave a brief positive review of the album. I decided to give this studio album a try. All-in-all, this is a pretty solid album, and a good listen. The best track is the opener, "1999." The band doesn't really break any new ground. They sound like a solid late-aughts indie rock band, and while I do enjoy this record, the music just doesn't have all that much distinctiveness to it. It's one of those albums that you like well enough, but never think to spin up very often.
