As premiered on GoldFlakePaint
“a woozy, often beautiful tale of two-halves; the track growing from the tender opening sketches in to something far more dynamic as it expands across four-minutes of somewhat scorched sentiments, Karlsson’s glorious vocal the most faithful of protagonists, swooning and sweeping its way through the entire thing” – GoldFlakePaint
“once you come across their bright, buoyant brand of pop with just the right amount of shoegaze, you won’t be disappointed” – Stereogum
“expertly balances sugar-glazed melody and lo-fi haze” – Under the Radar
“Combining lo-fi aesthetics with bounding chorus hooks” – The Line of Best Fit
Boys is the project of Nora Karlsson (guitarist of Swedish garage rock act HOLY) and “All My Friends” is the second single from Boys’ second EP Love on Tour, due on May 20 via PNKSLM Recordings.

Punk Slime Recordings are proud to present the new EP from the Swedish indie pop act Boys with second single “All My Friends” premiering on GoldFlakePaint. Boys is the solo project of HOLY guitarist Nora Karlsson and her new EP Love on Tour is the follow-up to last year’s debut EP Kind of Hurt. While Kind of Hurt were more or less home-recorded demos, Love on Tour is a step up on the production side while continuing to showcase Karlsson’s talents as a songwriter, with a sound somewhere in between Sarah Records and current day US indie pop, intimate and affecting lo-fi pop.
The lead single and opening track “Happy Hour” was written after returning home to Sweden following an intense UK tour with HOLY last fall, dealing with the post-tour depression and settling in to the regular life of a 20 year old in Sweden, while “All My Friends” takes on the feeling of longing for something isn’t there anymore. Love on Tour was recorded and performed by Nora herself. except for HOLY frontman Hannes Ferm handling drum duties on “Happy Hour” and “In My Mind”.
Live Boys expands into the quintet of Nora Karlsson (guitar/vocals), Hannes Ferm (drums), Anna Rauhala of Swedish indie pop act Üni Foreman on guitar, Amanda Ferm on bass and Lina Högström (aka Swedish indie folk singer-songwriter Skator) on keyboard.
