BAEBLE CONCERTS: Shout Out Louds at The Spiegeltent

Set in the makeshift and mirrored, carnavalistic round house, Spiegeltent, Shout Out Louds' performance on Monday testified that midnight in July is no time to lay low. Aptly named, the modish, Nordic-pop the band delivers feels like a euphoric scream from a lonesome rooftop. Live, precisely delivered songs from 2005's Howl Howl Gaff Gaff (Capitol) and the upcoming Our Ill Wills (Merge) were decidedly crafted with the same arrangement, emotion, and melody as their studio counterparts. As for all those Cure comparisons, look no further than Adam Olenius's spellbinding voice.

It'll always be a wonder how frozen Swedish studios and practice spaces bare some of the sunniest set music going today. No use mulling it over, however. What matters is, the Shout Out Louds and their prize winning music found Baeble on a sizzling' summer evening on the East River.
