Live – We Are Serenades @ Mercury Lounge 5/9

We Are Serenades‘ [Adam Olenius and Markus Krunegard and friends] are snazzy dressers, and great performers.  On May 9th, at Mercury Lounge, the lovechild of Shout Out Louds and Laakso,  put on an incredibly fun and technically inspired show –  performing a collection of synth-inspired folk songs – ranging from, the beautiful harmonies of “Daydreaming” to the off-tempo-yet-incredibly-fun “Weapons”. I found it funny – a Swedish band performing in the States, sang back-to-back songs about Mexico – opening their set with “Criminal Heaven” [the song from which the album takes it’s title] and ending on Christopher Cross’ “Ride Like the Wind”.  It also dawned on me that “All the Words” will  play at my wedding this summer. Check out some images from the show below:
