This five song cd-ep is a co-release with NYC's Shelflife Records. This trio hails from Sweden and are amazing at
creating upbeat pop music that swings. With the guitars from Mikael (he also plays organ, moog, piano,
glockenspiel, and vibes), the bass from Christer, and the gorgeous vocals from Ingela this band has written a new
chapter on Beach Boys-esque pop. The title track is from their forthcoming album while the other four songs are
unreleased (but still fantastic!). Easily one of the year's best records. This band also has other records out on
Shelflife, Blackbean and Placenta, and Fantastic as well as many compilation appearances on many other labels. Track Listing for The Shermans - "Falling Out of Love" ep 1. Falling Out of Love 2. Shallow Smile 3. Little Millie 4. Ladybug 5. My Baby |
