 Insound Staff Pick - 2008! From seemingly out of nowhere, Love is All turned up everywhere after their release of Nine Times That Same Song and then, impossibly, disappeared to the fate of hype, broken promises and seething expectations. A full three years later, the fanciful-anachro-charm of Love Is All has matured with the marriage of several members, kids and a true appreciate that love is all. The new album harnesses the same raw energy and music which captured our hearts, but this time magnifies it through the complex emotions and experiences the band has struggled with....full text |

Both precious and abrasive, Love Is All’s A Hundred Things Keep Me Up at Night maintains the energy and frenzy that helped the Swedish quintet generate so much buzz with its debut recording three years ago. At their core, the group’s songs are just pop tunes played at a frantic pace, with Josephine Olausson’s shrill vocals singing catchy, if sometimes tuneless melodies atop arrangements that are equal parts New Wave and post-punk.
Although that four-piece instrumentation often careers at a runaway pace (Movie Romance seems to accelerate for the song’s 2 1/2 -minute duration), the group’s real charm is Olausson herself. Sure, she often veers off-key, but staying on pitch hardly matters when it’s her vigor at center stage: the frenzied singalong Last Choice, the repeated yelps of “if you mind your business, I’ll mind mine” on Rumours and the saucy duet with guitarist Nicholaus Sparding on A More Uncertain Future. With all that energy, it’s easy to see how there might be more than a hundred things keeping her up at night — and whether they are the items she lists in Big Bangs, Black Holes, Meteorites or just the quandary of being stuck with the undesirable guy left at the end of the party (Last Choice), there’s no doubt that Olausson will always find a way to emerge on top....full text |

| Yelping confessions in her tiny, tune-challenged voice, Josephine Olausson clearly has a shit life. She’s paranoid about supernovas, stuck on a cruise ship full of hip-replacement survivors, walking home with the last guy at the bar. Yet Love Is All is one of those high-principled bands that refuses to miss out on the party. Somehow Olausson never sounds depressed—maybe that yelping is chirping. Credit four supportive guys rolling out unkempt riffs at tempos so punky they reveal the guitar line of Joy Division’s “She Lost Control” for the pop hook it is (with saxophone icing). Also credit choruses so sing-along that Olausson just loves to repeat them, a mite obsessively but never too much. She’s the party, it turns out, and if you don’t want to attend, well, she kind of likes being alone anyway. She’s Swedish....full text |
