You can almost hear it coming: another yelp from the swingin' Swedes in the Shout Out Louds. Merge Records will issue an EP for "Impossible"-- lifted from last year's fine Our Ill Wills LP-- April 8. It sports snazzy remixes of the tune by the Studio (as seen here) and Van Rivers & Subliminal Kid, as well as a live version of "Hard Rain" and a seasonally curious B-side entitled "December". What's more, the disc will also include a video of the album version of "Impossible" directed by SOL bassist Ted Malmros. This video right here, in fact.

Come March, the band will hit the States for a spell, with appearances at Langerado, South by Southwest, and the city that (due to jetlag, perhaps) never sleeps. They'll put in a few more European/UK dates-- including several with the Brunettes-- before returning in late April for Coachella.
