Live from Sweden

Every once in a while a surprise IM appears on your computer screen in the zipped form of a debut EP and your day, your playlist and the office air tunes are never quite the same.

Meet Lykke Li, Brooklyn transplant via Stockholm, via Portugal where she grew up jamming to Madonna on tape cassette. Produced by fellow Swede, Bjorn Yttling, expect to hear nods to Feist, Regina Spektor and appropriately, Peter Bjorn and John.

In a couple of recent interviews she admits to being terrified of fame. And after listening to Youth Novels, set to release in the U.S on August 19th, she should be scared shitless.
