Swedish “orthodox indie pop” duo Salt Lake Alley is back with their second full-length album, It Takes Two, and it’s another highlight in the rich C86 tradition. Gustav Tranback (Paper Hearts, Dismal Plight) and Mikael Carlsson (The Honeydrips, Dorotea) combine 12-string guitars with 80’s drum machines and vocal harmonies, and they do it well, but above all they know how to write wonderful twee pop songs. Here you can hear eleven of those sympathetic jangly guitar gems that let the springtime sun shine from your speakers.
It Takes Two is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Shelflife Records.
