139.

Pitchfork says 'Nine Times That Same Song' is the 139th best album of the decade.

Nice.

This is how they put it:

Quick to fall in and out of love, and with a bit of an obsessive streak, the shouty Swedish-pop five-piece both suited and deserved their instant crit slobber. What's more remarkable is how Nine Times That Same Song has endured and even thrived where so many similarly lauded contemporaries have begun to sound-- well, not "fresh and young" anymore. From the cowbell-clattering "one more time" dance-skronk of "Talk Talk Talk Talk" to the smoldering alt-ballad TV confessional of "Trying Too Hard", Love Is All had the funny, affecting, tellingly detailed songs to render comparisons to Life Without Buildings, X-Ray Spex, or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs all but irrelevant; along with its lo-fi elbow grease, that 10-times-great-songs spirit gives 9 Times common cause with a resurgent Slumberland's latter-decade roster. Not falling out means never having to make up.--Marc Hogan

Simply one of the 200 best songs!

Hey,

this has been up for a few days now, but just in case you didn't see it: We are very proud to let you know we are on Pitchforks list of the best 200 songs of the last ten years!


"Love Is All may specialize in songs that sound sharp and jagged, but their best single is more like a series of rounded upward curves, building up and crashing down like tidal waves confined to a kiddie pool. While the verses in "Make Out Fall Out Make Up" throb like a hangover headache, the choruses blare to the point of nearly collapsing into atonal cacophony, with Josephine Olausson's trebly yelping rising above the din to absolutely nail the tune's feeling of overwhelming romantic anxiety".

Love is all in the studio.

Hello all,

********** Turn the sound off on that video from Spin (below) first!!!! ***********************

We are really sorry for being terrible in updating this. The past month or so we've been hiding in our studio, recording what will be our next album. Here's a little film Markus made to prove it:





More details as soon as we have such.

Love,

Josephine/Love is all

VANS VANS VANS.

Here's a little video that tells the story about our nightmarish European tour last year, when drove four different vans in just over a week:

Last Choice video!

Here's our new video for the song Last Choice!

Right now we're in Rotterdam in Holland. Tonight we're playing our last show of our european tour. It's been fantastic and only one car broke down! (it's not over yet though...) It did get towed once though after we parked it in the middle of a road overnight...

But due to the van breaking down we did have to cancel our first show ever and we're extremely sorry about that!

hello everyone, a while back we had some time to kill so we decided to do something different; namely record a bunch of covers of some of our favourite swedish classics. songs by tant strul, bob hund, di leva, philemon arthur and the dung and magnus uggla.

just like we did for our first cover ep we decided that each member would pick a song with no other member getting a say in the matter. we recorded them all in a hurry at our space, just to avoid things getting too complicated...

we've screen printed 200 sleeves here in my kitchen and will include a small fanzine in the little cdr package we will bring to our upcoming shows in europe. but, since a lot of you don't live anywhere near those venues we decided to give the songs away as well. so, HERE you go. feel free to spread and share as you wish. we really hope you like them.

also, we will be back for a few shows in the usa this summer, if all goes well. we are currently trying to decide on which great american classics might receive the love is all mistreatment. please feel free to write us with suggestions.

'til then, josephine/love is all
