3 Doors Down's song "Kryptonite" is obviously a Superman reference.CB Radio's True Loves references John Wilkes Booth, MacBook, and Toucan Sam.Big Sean's "Supa Dupa" references Elton John, JoJo, Lindsay Lohan, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, Mortal Kombat, Robocop, Roots, The Silence of the Lambs, The Simpsons, and Super Mario Bros.As far back as the 80's, Big Daddy Kane referred to his style as "Transformin' on stage like a Decepticon.".I think Shout Out Louds from 2002 would be disappointed – ”Almost 20 years and it still sounds like ’Howl Howl Gaff Gaff’ just a bit slower. Sounds and themes from our neighborhood.Īnd – since we’re also in a slightly reflective mode – what would the Shout Out Louds from 2002 say to that new selection of songs? We wanted it to sound and feel like a ”local” album. I think they represent my life pretty accurate. The songs on this album are maybe a bit more intimate and honest than the last album. Bebban just had a baby so we where just the three of us and a drum machine so that sort of set the soundscape a bit. I think we approach it the same way as always: we miss playing, we miss hanging out and I have a few ideas I want to try… But this time around we booked every Tuesday night for rehearsal and time for drinks. How did you approach your first new album in almost five years? What defines these songs for you and how are they representatives for your current state in life? To me this feels like the centre of House as it’s also placed in the middle. Everything felt like it was a matter of life and death.Īnother warm, melancholic and slightly nostalgic song… finest SOL Material and happy that you keep the tradition of at least one song with Bebban on lead vocals alive.
#WHO SINGS SHOUT IT OUT WINDOWS#
We sat in this small kitchen without any windows and got called out by our producer Ronald Bood every time it was time to play – like a doctors office.
It was recorded on tape so we had to record a lot of takes. The EP was our first ever proper recording so everything was new to us. Very Loud (Demo) was on a sampler that a Swedish magazine (Sonic) put out a couple months before but the real release was 100°.Ĭan you recall the time you recorded these first songs as a band? And I think that 100° was the first EP and the lead track, right?
I tried to track down which was your first actual single. In the wake of the album release I took a look back on some of my personal favourite Shout Out Louds tunes from the past 20 years and was eager to know what band leader Adam Olenius thinks about them in the year 2022. All my fellow 00s indie kids can relax: these folks are still great companions on that weird journey we called life. Their forthcoming sixth full-length House, their first one in almost five years, is a testament of all these strength I’ve come to love over the past years. The sweet indie pop gems of the Swedes are carried by a certain longing, warm melancholia and a reflective notion that just gets better and better with age. But once you fall into new music by the four-piece these things become quite relative anyway because there’s a certain timelessness that surrouns their music anyway. Sometimes it’s easy to get fooled by the youthful spirit of the Shout Out Louds songs … but yes, the Swedish indie rock formation has indeed been active for two decades now and have also crossed the magical age-mark of 40 by now.
