I ripped off Wikipedia:
Swedish band Love Is All are composed of Josephine Olausson (vocals, keyboard), Johan Lindwall (bass), Markus Görsch (drums), Fredrik Eriksson (saxophone), and Nicholaus Sparding (guitar/vocals). Olausson, Sparding, and Görsch had previously been members of Girlfriendo. The trio promptly regrouped after that band's demise and added Lindwall, who had recorded in a side project with Olausson and Sparding called Cat Skills. They finally added the missing piece with saxophone player Fredrik Eriksson. While earning many rave reviews from the blogging community for their blend of art punk and indie rock, the band released several singles, one of which made single of the week in NME. The singles were collected on the debut LP Nine Times That Same Song, released by New York-based What's Your Rupture? in late 2005. After much touring through 2006 and 2007, Eriksson left the band and Love Is All continued on as a quartet. A Hundred Things Keep Me Up at Night and the remix album Love Is All Mixed Up arrived in 2008, along with Eriksson's replacement Åke Strömer (saxophone, keyboards).
They sound a bit like an updated, more skilled X-Ray Specs with more personal lyrics. They recently released their second EP, A Hundred Things Keep Me Up At Night, which I also recommend (it's got a bit better production)
Rev. Me is not so excited about them. But I think they're darn fun.

They're OK -- I'm not huge into them like you and Ben, but I am basically like "This is OK." I am curious about the Yoko cover. I like that Of Montreal did "I Felt Like Smashing My Face Into A Clear Glass Window" and Ben didn't know it was a Yoko song originally. The Of Montreal cover is pretty rad, too.
ReplyDeleteok, i've just listened them..they certainly are fun.their music is interesting and sounds pretty original.
ReplyDeleteWow. They are awful. In a good way.
ReplyDeleteNot the usual kind of music i listen to, but silly/fun stuff. :)
