Summer Days 4:11 With a 100% indie pop sound that harks back to the softer side of Sarah Records and the tiny labels that followed in their wake, Sweden's Alpaca Sports were formed in late 2011 by Andreas Jonsson. Having previously been in a band called Bluekicks with his childhood friend Carl Jirestedt, Jonsson struck out on his own, but called on several friends to help him with his musical vision. Chief among them were Jirested and vocalist Amanda Akerman (both of whom became de facto members of the band), and producer Kalle von Hall. They worked on the first single, 2012's "Just For Fun", which was released by the Swedish label Luxury. It was the start of a long relationship, as the label released the "She'll Come Back For Indian Summer" and "I Was Running" singles in 2012 and the "As Long As I Have You", "Telephone" and "He Doesn't Even Like You" singles in 2013. Each record had a distinctive cover created by Japanese artist Ray Kimura. Alpaca Sports' profile grew with each single, enchanting fans of classic indie pop worldwide with their sweetness and songs. The band played a well-received set at the 2013 NYC Popfest, while also featuring at the Madrid Popfest and Indietracks. In 2014 they issued another single, "Just Like Johnny Marr", then followed it with the "Sealed With A Kiss" album, which included many of the singles. After signing with Spain's Elefant label, they returned in 2015 with the mini-LP "When You Need Me Most". The record featured input from Fireflies' Lisle Mitnik, who recorded his parts in Chicago, and Ladybug Transistor's Gary Olson and Julia Rydholm, who recorded in Brooklyn, and was produced by Ian Catt (Field Mice, Saint Etienne) in his London studio. Elefant Records is proud to announce the return of international pop super group Alpaca Sports with their newest single, "Summer Days", taken from the upcoming album, "From Paris With Love".
