When first we caught wind of Swedens
Lykke Li, we were instantly charmed.
The way that girl so coyly works a street corner? Precious. So while the 22 year olds
MySpace page has been the recipient of some rather serious traffic round these parts, itd be nice to take her debut EP
Little Bit home sometime soon. Thats where her very own label,
LL Recordings, comes in.
On May 6th, LL will release
Little Bit for the first time in the US. Recorded in both Stockholm and New York City, the EP was produced by none other than
Peter, Bjorn and Johns Bjorn Yttling. Dicing exotic, international tricks and trinkets together in one cosmo cool pop concoction, Lykke Lis three minute gems comprise one of the more percolating collections to hit our ears this year. With both a head for song craft of an intricate, yet slightly minimalist nature, and a feel for exotic, textured timbres, were pretty sure this here gal is headed for one special kind of year.
Lykke Li will also play some shows round the US. We got the dates below.
