“Prepare to shout along: I’m From Barcelona’s sophomore release ‘Who Killed Harry Houdini’ is out today. Listen to the full album on AOL Spinner here.
The 20+ member Swedish group led by Emanuel Lundgren burst on the scene in 2007 with ‘Let Me Introduce My Friends’, which introduced a songwriter with a penchant for crafting colorful indie pop that turned seemingly small topics like wearing glasses, oversleeping, and collecting stamps into upbeat sing-alongs.
Like many things Swedish – Ikea, Jose Gonzalez, spas, and fish – we were hooked. And so were critics. Pitchfork promptly labeled it “Best New Music,” Rolling Stone called it “pretty damn charming,” and New York Times described their confetti-filled Lollapalooza performance as “euphoric.”
In addition, the band are holding a remix competition of new song “Music Killed Me.” Visit myspace.com/imfrombarcelona for complete details, submissions must be received by November 3rd.
Paper Planes is their standout single. Watch the video here via Youtube and listen to the track here via Hypem.
