It's been far too long since we last heard from sax-happy Swedes Love Is All, so today's news, while a small joy, is a joy nonetheless.

The combo is still hard at work on material for the follow-up to Nine Times That Same Song-- according to a recent MySpace post, they've already recorded, yes, nine songs-- but they will sneak out of the studio for a little Brazilian getaway. It's the latest "Swedish Invasion" tour, which finds Love Is All sharing bills with fellow Swede smile-makers Suburban Kids With Biblical Names and Hello Saferide.

The tour kicks off September 14 in Recife and wraps up a few days later in São Paulo; we have Brazil's Coquetel Molotov and the Swedish Institute to thank for this darling foreign exchange program. Also, as declared on MySpace, LIA's Markus Gorsch "will bring his Speedos." Look out, ladies!
