We Like Likke Li


If Massive Attack well, attacked, Dawn Landes, you’d get an adorable Swede that likes to dance. “If you wanna complain, then I’m not the complaint department,” the meek, alabaster-skinned Lykke Li sings on her new album, Youth Novels, released on June 9 in the US.

Alright, clearly lyrics aren’t her specialty. But I admire her from steering away from predictable instruments and using a little foghorn, synth and toy piano.  And just look at that face!

I’ll leave you with videos to judge. But I will tell you that I listened to this whole album one afternoon in LA traffic. And I wasn’t even mad when I came home an hour later. In fact, I felt a little excellent.

She can be adorable!

But oh-so-hardcore!
