Acid House Kings – Are We Lovers or Are We Friends?

Acid House Kings have apparently been going since 1991, which makes me feel slightly guilty for only latching on to them now. I’m not entirely sure why it’s taken this long. Usually if you say the words Swedish tweepop to me, I’m there. Yet somehow they have escaped me. That was until I got hold of Are We Lovers or Are We Friends?, which may well be one of my favourite songs of the year, for a whole number of reasons. It’s playful enough to be a nice easy listen, while also resonating a little more for those who have been in such a situation. Exactly what any good pop record should be doing then.

Are We Lovers or Are We Friends is taken from the upcoming fifth album by the band, entitled Music Sounds Better With You. It’ll be released March 22 2011 via Labrador Records. Feel free to recommend me one of their albums in the comments too, as I’m certainly curious to hear more, and have no clue where to begin.
