Stockholm’s Lacrosse return with their first record in 5 years, Are You Thinking of Me Every Minute of Every Day? It’s an eclectic hodgepodge of styles — some I’m From Barcelona, a bit of Polyphonic Spree — and while most of the songs feel upbeat, there’s a darker edge to the lyrics. Opener Don’t Be Scared balances on a precipice of melancholy and fear. But second track I Told You So (Didn’t I) is a bouncy beauty that pushes the elation levels. Not everything works. 50% of Your Love is, well, unpleasant. But songs like The Key and Easter Island have nice dramatic builds. Check out the clip of If Summer Ends below.
