Swedish quartet Love Is All's sassed-up, echo-drenched indie anthems backdrop a seedy nighttime landscape where hearts are broached and broken like so many whispered secrets. (Bodies, meanwhile, venture ever-forward, propelled by friends, booze, and the evening's never-ending sense of intrigue.) Like that of similarly skewed indie-rockers Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Love Is All's frantic post-punk dancery is epileptic and aggressive, but their disjointed guitars and howled vocals are tempered by the warm din of horns, lo-fi fuzz, bells, and bar-style sing-alongs. The result is at once invigorating and inviting — an optimistic push to get out there, and a shoulder to cry on if you end up alone.
