Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars After nearly two decades together, what's their left for a band to accomplish, or say that matter? Well, after spending the last few days with Feel the Sound , the most recent release by Imperial Teen , it's clear that there's plenty more to be done. There's always been an infectious brightness to the band, and they don't hold back on this effort, giving you 11 new tracks to which you [...]
When we last saw a video from Shout Out Louds, they had paired a grand vision of industrial decline with a Band of Horses cover. We named it a Best Cover Video of 2010. Now they're back, with a significantly less ambitious video. It's their version of Madonna's "Ray of Light," performed backstage in Paris. The duo of Bebban Stenborg and Adam Olenius pare the pop smash down to just an acoustic guitar and two delicate voices. If Madonna plays this song at the Super Bowl, suffice to say it won't sound like this. Check out "Ray of Light" below. [...]

Not drooling for it like I was but Serenades are delivering solid sweeping & dramatic indie pop jams with big appeal."Miracles" is new best. [Quickies are mini-reviews that can fit into a 140 character tweet. They are of albums that people already know of but perhaps are curious about our take on it. What did you think of the disc?] Artist links: Facebook / Soundcloud / Amazon
Esta segunda edição das Notas Soltas conta, tal como a primeira, com a presença dos Shout Out Louds, mas desta vez foi Adam, o vocalista, que partilhou connosco um pensamento. The second Random Thoughts edition features, just like the first one, the Shout Out Louds. However, now it was Adam, the singer, who shared a Thought with us. Tivemos o prazer de o conhecer na mesma altura em que estivemos com os seus colegas de banda, Ted e Carl . No entanto, desta [...]

'Gold' is the brand new single from Anglo-Swedish newcomers Air Castles. It's a striking song full of beautifully crafted intricate soundscapes with a heart melting melody and catchy vocals. Welding guitars, synths, bass and drums with Air Castles' brainchild Max Mansson's unforgettable vocals, the song is equal... Read more..
At the moment there's not tons of news stateside about The Serenades , other than it feature Adam Olenius of Shout Out Louds , and his friend, Markus. They're not crafting bubbling pop with hints of melancholy; they're offering up sweeping pop music that only the Swedes seem to know how to perfect. They've got an album out called Criminal Heaven , and it's full of really warm numbers with swelling bursts of exuberance. It's the perfect track to fit into your midweek listening rotation. [...]
Notas Soltas: É este o nome de uma nova iniciativa que irá trazer mais interactividade a este blog. Random Thoughts: This is how we call this new initiative that will bring some interactivity to the blog. O conceito é simples e inspirado no blog Things We Forget : Pedimos a artistas que escrevam uma "Nota" num Post-it e depois deixamo-la colada algures, para que todos vejam e alguém a possa levar. This was inspired by [...]
![[STREAM] Serenades – "Birds" & "Oceans"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3606907_lg.jpg)
gentle whisper in my ear, oh sadness disappear Yup. Sweden again . But this time it's courtesy of some Swedes we already know. Adam Ohlenius from Shout Out Louds and Markus Krunegård make-up their poppier side project Serenades and damn if it isn't some smooth stuff. "Birds" is all kinds of blossoms and happiness on a sunny Sunday while "Oceans" gets a bit more sunset melancholy. However, both are gems and serve as a reminder that talented people make great music , no matter what genre they are dabbling in. [...]
After making up the summer mix i came away craving some lyric heavy songs. Those ones that help hold the heart rather than moving the feet. This week is a slow build but it still delivers Stornoway- Fuel Up I don't know how i missed Stornoway last year but i did. I'm on such a [...]

At last something new! Well, new-ish. Although the video might be a year old, it's been more than six months since my last post. I thought I'd throw in something by the Shout Out Louds to hark my return, especially since the first lines in this song rings true to what this blog and I have. Before I wax poetic on how I always come back, let's take a moment and soak in the wonder of Shout Out Louds -- the underwater version. There's always beauty and grace in underwater shots -- just not when you're trying to sing.
As mentioned, this is great side material from Shout Out Louds. I think this will make an appearance on Like Sugar 39. The strings made the difference.
What's up everyone? I know it might be a bit late considering that we're already well into June, but in honor of recently finishing up my studies here in Prague I thought I would throw together a quick post to celebrate the summer. It's a beautiful thing, and I hope all of you out there are getting a chance to relax and soak up some sun. The music today is a mix of tunes that never fail to get me in that summer mood, I hope they do the same for you. It's Summertime- [...]
The always brilliant Shout Out Louds are recording... and Adam Olenius (vocals/guitar) has started a duo called Serenades . There is a free download of "Birds" here .
" Ravenna Dance Party, with the Bologna Indie Maffia ". Un magnifico regalo da Ted degli Shout Out Louds per ricordare il concerto al Bronson di Ravenna di qualche settimana fa, e soprattutto l'immancabile festa dopo il concerto. Abbracci a tutti quelli che ballavano. La canzone del video è la vecchia Seagull , anche se non ho capito bene in quale versione.

So as spring turns to summer, we change our dress, we spend more time outside and we take like a little bit slower (hopefully). Summertime music is very different than other seasons. With the change in our regular activities focused on spending time outside, the music we listen might be more chilled, ambient, less intrusive, fun and bright. Our friends at See The Leaves SF , who kindly made a summertime mixtape for us (see below), described summertime music as anything 90s hip hop. While we agree, we'd like to suggest a few other tracks, while also including some [...]
