Writer's Block

The Swedish indie trio track every emotionally messy stage of romance on their wistful, whistle-worthy 2006 breakthrough album. A casual meeting between two strangers lights up "Young Folks," the insanely catchy and coy duet featuring The Concretes' Victoria Bergsman. "Paris 2004" jangles with sweet, intimate affection, before "Let's Call It Off" sets up for impending doom in a sunny jaunt of steel drums and harmonies. Heartbreak is fully realized on "Up Against the Wall," which shimmers like classic New Order filled with regret.
