Shout Out Louds – “14th Of July (Jens Lekman Remix)”
Earlier this year, the slick Swedish new wavers Shout Out Louds released their new album Optica, and now their countryman Jens Lekman has reworked “14th Of July,” one shinier of its tracks. You probably won’t be surprised to learn that Lekman has made the song sound like one of his own, adding whimsical soft-pop strings and rippling bongos, generally making a breezy twee-disco anthem out of it. It’s just an incredibly pleasant remix, and you can hear it below.
Optica is out now on Merge.
