From the very first notes of Those Dancing Days' impressive sophomore album, it's clear that the charming indie pop band from suburban Stockholm, Sweden has evolved. Recorded in Stockholm over mid-to-late 2010 with Patrik Berger (the fast rising producer known for his recent work with Robyn), the album is filled with soaring choruses led by singer Linnea Jönsson's sweetly sultry vocals. Angular guitars and thundering drums lead the charge on album bookends 'Reaching Forward' and 'One Day Forever' (a winsome duet with The Maccabees' Orlando Weeks), while elsewhere the songs range from the blissful pure pop of 'I'll Be Yours' to the defiant, hard charging anthem 'Fuckarias,' and from the new wave-tinged, starry-eyed 'Dream About Me,' to the wistful 'When We Fade Away.' The lushly vibrant 'Can't Find Entrance' was produced by Max Martin (Kelis, The Veronicas, Katy Perry).
Those Dancing Days have multiple performances at this year's SXSW Festival including appearances at both Filter and Fader magazine showcases. The band will bookend the festival appearance with headline club shows in Los Angeles (The Satellite) and New York (The Mercury Lounge).
