Merge Records is excited to release a new song from sophisticated Swedish pop maestros Shout Out Louds’ new record. “Illusions” is from the band’s great new album, Optica, due out February 26. The Soundcloud stream of the song is available for posting HERE.

The Line of Best Fit describes the song, “‘Illusions’ is vintage Shout Out Louds with razor-edged guitar hooks and cyclical drum patterns providing the rhythmic thrust for Adam Olenius’ sweet croon to float over; although the unashamedly up tempo jangles are tempered by multi-instrumentalist Bebban Stenborg’s sensitive, aching backing vocals.”
