(What’s Your Rupture)
Kind of like a slightly harder-rocking Sugarcubes, only with
saxophone instead of trumpet and no weird Icelandic dude rapping (or
really any Icelandic dudes, Love Is All being Swedish), although there
is some boy/girl call and response. Oh, and their lead singer is not
exactly Björk. Still, this, their sophomore album, is a half hour
of pretty invigorating new-wave punk revival (maybe more like a Nordic
Romeo Void), overstuffed with hooks even if the adorably accented words
(Josephine Olausson’s slightly sibilant, smooshed “s”-sounds are the
best) don’t always stick right away. ![]()
Love Is All perform Sun Nov 23, Nectar, 8 pm, $10, 21+. With
Vivian Girls, Nodzzz.
