Swedish indie-poppers Shout Out Louds return with their third album Work, out February 23rd on Merge Records. Recorded in Seattle at Bear Creek Studio, the band enlisted producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, The Shins, Built To Spill, Modest Mouse) to helm their latest outing.

In a press release, singer Adam Olenius expounds upon the brevity of the title, explaining, "I am fascinated by the process of creating something and almost working yourself to death, the relief that comes when it is over and the ability to just shut off a part of one's life. Work also means that something 'does work,' to reach a goal. A song from John Cale and Lou Reed's Songs For Drella also inspired our album title choice."
