Exclusive: Shout Out Louds Sign to Merge
Sweden's Shout Out Louds have made the label switch from Capitol to Merge for the North American release of their follow-up to 2004's Howl Howl Gaff Gaff.
The new album is titled Our Ill Wills and was produced by fellow brother of the blue and yellow Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John.
Our Ill Wills' first single, "Tonight I Have to Leave It", is out now in Sweden, and the album comes out there April 25 via Bud Fox Recordings. Bud Fox will release the record in Denmark on May 21 (in collaboration with At:tack Music) and in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland on May 25 (in collaboration with Haldern Pop Recordings). North American residents have to wait until September 11 for the Merge release.
A full North American Shout Out Louds tour won't happen until then either, but limited U.S. dates are in the works for July. The band will, however, take Europe (and Scandinavia in particular) by storm this spring and summer starting with their April 19 and 20 appearances at London's Camden Crawl.
