Love and Fear is the new 11-song CD from Stockholm’s indie rock quartet Slim Loris. The quartet features Mattias Cederstam on both lead vocals and bass, Robert Barrefelt lead guitar, Leon Lindström rhythm and backing vocals and Jonas Ellenberg playing drums.

Leading off with a jangly “Never Danced Sober” we get Cederstam’s bass up front and Lindström’s perfectly placed harmony vocal. “Higher” follows with Barrefelt starting a simple riff and Cederstam’s acoustic and passionate singing. The chorus just floats with plucked notes, that riff again and Ellenberg’s understated simple beat.
