On their 2007 sophomore album, OUR ILL WILLS, the Shout Out Louds offer up another round of energetic indie-pop. Issued on the renowned Merge label (in the U.S.), and produced by fellow Swede Bjorn Yttling (of Peter, John & Bjorn), the record finds singer/guitarist Adam Olenius notably influenced by the Cure's sunnier work, particularly on the lush, swooning single "Tonight I Have to Leave It," where the frontman exhibits an uncanny vocal similarity to Robert Smith. Another standout track is "Impossible," which keeps the bright Cure-like veneer, but benefits from Bebban Stenborg's cooing background vocals. An assured and engaging second outing, OUR ILL WILLS cements the Shout Out Loud's status as one of the leading lights of the Scandinavian pop scene.
