"It's been about six years since we've heard a peep from Swedish indie pop outfit Acid House Kings, and that's six years too long" PITCHFORK
Yes, Sweden's pop perfectionists no. 1 are back. Finally! All Music called the predecessor "Sing Along with Acid House Kings" One of the best releases, indie or not, of 2005 . Now, after half a decade of fine tuning their song writing, fans are in for something extraordinary with "Music Sounds Better with You". A sublime mix of sugary Swedish melodies, sunny arrangements and 60's French pop.
10 hits that will put them ten steps ahead of followers like The Drums, Camera Obscura, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Girls. Vinyl edition limited to 1000 copies world wide.
