79

Last Days of April, the Swedish indie-pop band best known for their early 2000's emo indie albums on Deep Elm Records that have influenced acts like Charlie Simpson & Fightstar, are back with their newest CD, 79, the bands second since reforming in 2008. While the transition made from the early work of Angel Youth and Ascend To The Stars to the newer work on Gooey is still very visible, we get to see some of the old LDAO songwriting on 79, in particular in the tracks "Lily" and "Where We Belong". With a more indie flare, a dash of twang, and with obvious influence from bands like The Weakerthans, Springsteen, and Band of Horses, Last Days of April have officially merged their early 2000's emo influence into a more robust indie influence, reinventing themselves to a new sound and a new fan base. Below is a sampling of three songs off the new CD:
