collaborated with producer Rick Rubin

In 2004, The (International) Noise Conspiracy collaborated with producer Rick Rubin for their next album. Swedish jazz saxophonist Jonas Kullhammar temporarily joined the band on saxophone and keyboards, co-writing some of the songs. Organists Billy Preston and Benmont Tench also joined the lineup temporarily, as Sara Almgren left to join the Swedish punk band The Vicious (later Masshysteri ). Rick Rubin signed the band to his label, American Recordings . The result was the release of Armed Love in 2004. The album’s inlay paid tribute to the slogan “¡O Bailan todos, o no baila nadie!” written by the Tupamaros , which translates to “Either Everyone Dances, or No One Dances!” According to the band, this phrase reflects their philosophy and music.
