Lykke Li has along with Peter, Bjorn and John, and Christian Karlsson & Pontus Winnberg of Miike Snow launched a new Swedish label/collective - Ingrid. Their first offering is the collection Ingrid Volym 1 and Lykke's live favourite Come Near is the album opener. Love this, the sick & tasty drums, the Fever Ray feel of the first 60 seconds - the haunting vocals and well...everything, haha. Enjoy!
Miike Snow teams up with Lykke Li and blends downpitched vocals with heavy and dark beats. The result is Black Tin Box - a track with a thick, seething atmosphere - we're so curious to hear the full album after this!
Awww, too sweet! Just in time for the holidays - Lykke Li has put together her Lost Sessions in a Vol. 1 pack and urging for her fans to spread the music and love. That's the spirit! We're knocked over with a massive cold so it was a most welcome email. Listen below, and the click here for the .mp3's of Jerome, I Follow Rivers and Youth Knows No Pain. Wounded Rhymes is totally one of the best and cohesive albums of the year. Already dying for Vol. 2! Thank you Lykke!
I'd thought I'd give you this to put in your little players, either stick it in your ears or play it loud when the lights are low, mind weary and days rainy.
Remember; life is a process, no feeling is final.
There is no end and no beginning.
Yours truly always,
Lykke Li
PS: If you like it you are welcome to spread it on those little Internet waves. Maybe send it like a little gift or a kindly flu filled kiss. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. VOL . 1 ( !!!!!)
We can honestly say we listen to music all the time. Since we were like 10 we've made music lists and hopefully will do so 60 years from now. Below are our 25 favourite tracks from the year just passed, presented in no particular order except to make the sequence sound extra hawt! We've had a lot of fun curating this list for sure as we love the diversity of this year's selection of artists. From Adele bringing back selling music in physical format to Björk's experimental app album. The cover art is made especially for us by Paris based luxury design illustrator Jean-Baptiste Guesdon. Sweet! Enjoy! For the track list click here.
Lykke Li stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman last night to give a pretty epic performance of Silent My Song. Backed by First Aid Kit and giving off an irresistible gothic vibe. Love the noir! A must watch! Her Wounded Rhymes is one of our favourite albums of '11 without a doubt.
