It's been more than two years since Sweden's Shout Out Louds dropped Our Ill Wills, their last platter of satisfying indie pop, which means we're good and ready for another. On February 23, the band will release album number three, Work, via Merge. That's the cover art above; it's nice to see that some bands still do the whole posing-on-the-cover thing. We've got the tracklist below, as well as a stream and download of the album track "Walls". The video for "Walls", featuring behind-the-scenes footage of the band at work, can be seen over at Pitchfork.tv or embedded below. The band recorded the LP at Seattle's Bear Creek studio with Phil Ek, a producer who knows his way around satisfying indie pop, having worked on records by the Shins, Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, and Fleet Foxes. On March 1, the band will mark the album's release with a show at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg, with more dates to follow in the spring.
