It’s a brand new video from my all time favorite Swedish band – Shout Out Louds. Fall Hard is from their album Work, which is due for release on February 23rd.

They’ve also got a North American tour lined up this coming Spring with three stops to Canada 😀

Fall Hard won’t be due for release till next month, but you can sample one of the songs from the new album – Walls, which is offered as a free download at the band’s site.

Check out Merge Record’s press release as well as tour dates after the jump.

"Work is the band’s third album and second for Merge. It was recorded in Seattle and produced by Phil Ek (The Shins, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses). After a year of touring behind their acclaimed second record, Our Ill Wills, the band went their separate ways — singer/main songwriter Adam Olenius to Melbourne, Australia, keyboard/vocalist Bebban Stenborg to Los Angeles, drummer Eric Edman, bassist Ted Malmros and guitarist Carl von Arbin back to Stockholm – and took a much needed break. Olenius wrote many of the new songs in Australia in a tiny room, with a little synthesizer, an acoustic guitar and garageband on his laptop. He passed them on to the others who listened closely from their corners of the world, questioning and challenging him until the songs that make up Work had all passed the test."
