An escalating drum roll opens Our Ill Wills, the sophomore album from Shout Out Louds. And rightly so. It's been a few years since the release of their first full-length record, the critically acclaimed Howl Howl Gaff Gaff.
But the band's been anything but lazy. These last years have seen their passports fill
up with stamps and their photo albums with snap shots from all corners of the world.
They've done their own headline tours as well as being the support act of choice for bands such as The Strokes, The Magic Numbers and Kings Of Leon. Being on the road means you got plenty of time. To think. To drink. To reminisce the past. To play computer games. To miss loved ones. To get lost in new towns. To misbehave and to get your priorities in order. It's all there, on Our Ill Wills. Well, maybe not the computer games so much.
The title Our Ill Wills refers to secrets, why we need them and what makes us keep them, explains the band's singer and lyricist, Adam Olenius. "There are so are many secrets and I'm telling this one to you" he announces in Your Parents Livingroom. Yes, he stresses later in Normandie, "Too many secrets, too many nights, I should have called where have I been all night".
