Coming out late last year My Guilty Pleasure was Swedish duo Sally Shapiro&#8217;s second album, a nice follow up to the successful Disco Romance of 2007.  Producer Johan Agebjörn, drew heavily on his skills as an ambient artist (a solo album of his had been released on the Lotus Spike label in 2008), as well as his knowledge of old-school production techniques, like stuttering vocals, to create a highly atmospheric [...]]]></description>
