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".
