Club 8

Johan Angergård will release a new album as The Legends, titled It’s Love, on June 30. This will be the first Legends album not to be released on Labrador, the Swedish indie label that Angergård runs, instead coming out via Cascine, a label that clearly holds a torch for Labrador’s discography…
