Ratatat-remixed and Artist of the Day-showcased Swedes the Shout Out Louds will release Our Ill Wills, the band’s sophomore effort, Sept. 11 on Merge. As the follow up to the Shout Out Louds’ debut full-length, Howl Howl Gaff Gaff, the new release will be the band’s first for Merge, the blossoming indie-home of bands such as the Arcade Fire, Rosebuds, and Spoon; the band parted ways with Capitol earlier this year. Fellow countryman/Peter Björn & John bass plucker Björn Yttling lent his knob-twisting skills to Our Ill Wills, whose first single, “Tonight I Have to Leave It” is currently out in Sweden. The single’s U.S. release date has yet-to-be announced.
Fans can catch the band on a complete tour of the U.S. following the album’s release, and although no details have yet-to-be confirmed, a string of stateside performances are expected to be scheduled for July.
