The Swedish band Love Is All play a head-over-heels rush of punk rock that's both infectious and disarming, with Josephine Olausson's vocals declaiming excitably over the 1980s vintage punk-disco and skronking saxophone of "Talk Talk Talk" and the angular-yet-romantic "Aging Had Never Been His Friend." Make Out Fall Out Make Up" recalls the na?ve yet purposeful experimentalism of Brian Eno's TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN BY STRATEGY, while "Felt Tip" is simply hushed, spare, and gorgeous.

Q (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Love Is All blend coquettish pop and the jazz-flecked experiments of long-forgotten art-punks Kleenex."
