Stockholm indie outfit Shout Out Louds rose in the mid-2000s with an engaging sound that ranged in tone from cozy, jangling guitar pop to something more cinematic. Their 2007 album Our Ill Wills reached the Top Ten in Sweden while 2010's Phil Ek-produced follow-up, Work, saw the band make inroads in the U.S. Although their output over the coming years wasn't prodigious, each subsequent release explored a different facet of Shout Out Louds' palette, from the adventurous pop of 2013's Optica to the laid-back reflections of 2017's Ease My Mind. Their sixth album, 2022's House, continued this trend with its sonic pastiche of murky new wave guitar sounds and sweet melodies.
