Shout out Louds have made the touring rounds with the likes of Kings of Leon and the Strokes but after returning to their native Sweeden post the release of 2010’s “Work”, the band has remain relatively silent. 3 years later, the indie-pop shines again with the release of the band’s 4th album, “Optica” on Feb 26 courtesy of Merge Records.
Bebban Stenborg released this statement to fans: “We wrote about love of course, about things we’ve seen, dreamed and lived. And about time, in all tenses. Light. And then, as always, our ever-present motif of traveling. The places we’ve been, the ones we’re dying to return to, and the ones we hope to see before we die. We made Optica in great anticipation of lugging our orchestra across the planet once more, and we can’t wait to get out there.
“And even if our 10th year as a band will bring the end of the world as we know it, we mean to face whatever lies ahead of us outside, in the light, in full color.”
