Shout Out Louds Announce September Tour

• 27th Jul 2010

Shout Out Louds are back at work. They've had some time off. A six month break to regroup, see other things, places and people. Bebban did so in Los Angeles and Adam in Melbourne. Carl, Ted and Eric remained in Stockholm. And when they got together again they knew that this is what they do, and that this is what they will continue to do. ‘Work’ is their third album.

Adam wrote many songs whilst in Melbourne, in a tiny room, with a little synthesizer, an acoustic guitar and Garageband on his laptop. He passed them on to the others who listened closely from their corners of the world, questioning and challenging him – like a good band should – until the songs that make up Work had all passed the test, made the cut and lived to tell the story…

They got Seattleite Phil Ek to produce the album, and they describe him as a much needed force. They wanted someone who was used to working with bands, and used to doing things the old-fashioned way – by hard work and 1, 2, 3, 4 live recordings. Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses and The Shins are fine testaments of Phil Ek´s latest producer work ethic, and so he seemed a natural choice.

Realizing that there really is no need to multilayer and fill all the spaces in their songs, Shout Out Louds are keeping it simple now, trusting in the power of bare skin over panache. At the end of the day, it's work, and they are happy to do it. And for that we are truly thankful.
