Love Is All's sassed-up, echo-drenched indie anthems backdrop a seedy nighttime landscape where hearts are routinely broken. Like that of similarly skewed indie-rockers Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Swedish group's frantic post-punk workouts are epileptic and aggressive, but their disjointed guitars and howled vocals are tempered by the skronky brass, chiming bells, and bar-style sing-alongs. The result is at once invigorating and inviting, providing an optimistic push to get out on the dance floor and take a chance while providing a shoulder to cry on should you end up alone.
