[edit] Biography
After the break up of Girlfriendo, Josephine (vocals, keyboards), Nicholaus (guitar, vocals) and Markus (drums), Johan (bass) and Fredrik (saxophone) formed Love Is All, and debuted in 2006 with Nine Times That Same Song. They are currently signed to the New York-based indie label What's Your Rupture?. They also have been featured on the renowned BBC radiocast Peel Sessions 2004. Their profile was raised significantly after a string of well-received US tourdates in March 2006, culminating in a sold-out headlining spot in New York, and they supported British band MaxÃŊmo Park on their UK tour in October 2006. Fans of indie rock have latched onto Love is All's songs, which alternate between lo-fi and a jumbled jangle pop augmented with throbbing basslines and skronky saxophone, which makes for a noisy yet song-driven sound powered by inspired vocals and a strong rhythmic sensibility.
