will ageing ever be their friend?


A Hundred Things Keep Me Up At Night, Love Is All's sophomore effort is exactly what it is. A sophomore album. The classic sophomore album. A slight expansion of the themes first explored in the first album. The five-piece from Gotheburg, Sweden, specializes in high octane, frenzied, reverb laden, melodic noise fest, their secret weapon being the saxophone, which gives their more energetic songs that extra kick. And whilst their second offering contains many songs in the same vein, they are taking their time now to let the songs breath and find its own natural groove.
The dance funk punk of Franz Ferdinand they rode on has burst long ago, let's see if they'll evolve enough to be remembered.
