If youre in tune with Baebles history, you know weve got ourselves a little fix. Nothing harmful, nothing unsavory
we just kind of dig Swedes. More specifically, its the continuing swell of brow raising talent that really nibbles away at us.
Im From Barcelona, Mando Diao, Shout Out Louds: weve had em all (on our site, that is). So when the names
El Perro Del Mar, Lykke Li, and
Anna Ternheim all lined up in quick succession of one another
on one night, no less
we knew we needed to be there. We also thought itd be a good idea to bring our cameras along as well.
Riding a bright blue and gold blaze to
the Bowery Ballroom last Thursday, the three artists didnt disappoint. First there was Anna a solo songbird, pumping gushing sentiment and heaps of heart through her careful strums and classic piano ponderings. A more lovely girl, there is not. Next up Lykke Li, no doubt getting her first taste of what will most likely evolve into full on, North American hysteria over the next few months... Personality, charisma, charm; this here free spirit cant be contained. Though why would anyone ever fathom such a thing? Finally, a swift and final transition to El Perro Del Mar her porcelain voice and brand of nifty, retro pop winding the clock back just a bit. It all made for a rather fetching evening.
Keep an eye on Baeble as we roll out performances from all three artists over next few weeks.
