The Swedish indie band paint their peppy pop in various shades of black on their sophomore album. With all of its lovelorn angst, Our Ill Wills is rooted in '80s flavors, down to the Smiths-nodding "Meat Is Murder" and Adam Olenius' exasperated Robert Smith-like yelps. The music follows suit, in the steely, synth-lined anthem "Tonight I Have to Leave It" and jangly nostalgic nugget "Your Parents’ Living Room." Even the clickety-clack of cowbell on "Impossible" can’t help but get swept up in goth-pop romanticism.
