Merge Records is excited to announce that Sweden's Shout Out Louds will be embarking on a North American tour during the month of May with Brooklyn buzz band Freelance Whales. With the band's new album, Work, in stores and online now, the tour begins on May 2 at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, and will culminate with a performance at the House of Blues in San Diego, CA, on May 22. Last week the band performed a sold-out show at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg where they performed tracks off their new album as well as crowd favorites from their previous two full-lengths.

In addition to the upcoming tour, the band just issued a mini-documentary on the making of Work titled "Shout Out Louds ... at Work." Directed by the band's bassist and renowned video director Ted Malmros, "Shout Out Louds ... at Work" provides a deep glimpse into the process that went into the creation of the songs that make up the new studio album.

Through the alluring moving images and stills taken from interviews with the band and Phil Ek, their producer, to the Washington woodlands where Work was recorded, the mini-documentary presents itself as a diary that captures all of the emotions evoked from the pressure, as well as the excitement, of creating such a highly anticipated release.
