Leave it Lykke Li to pull off Hammer pants and oversized silk blouses and still get half of Sweden to dance. Like M.I.A., she clearly has her own specific style and precise aesthetic, which is part of what makes a... CONTINUE READING NEW LYKKE LI - "I'M GOOD I'M GONE" (CHUCK BRODY REMIX)»

New Lykke Li Video - "I'm Good, I'm Gone"

SXSW: Friday In Photos

The original plan on Friday was to see Zooey and Matt Ward (the she and him of She & Him) at Merge's 12AM showcase at the Parish, because she's got a good voice and he's cute. And vice versa. But... CONTINUE READING SXSW: FRIDAY IN PHOTOS»

Lykke Li Performs With Swedish Indie All Stars

Lykke Li Goes To The Bathroom

To play a song, silly. Although, Ms. Li isn't above running some sink water, taking spoons to porcelain, and flushing the toilet for added percussive effect. New song "I'm Good, I'm Gone" is on the menu while she's in the cramped potty, featuring a dude on shaker and another on guitar. The adorability factor is high with this one. Just remember to wash your hands when you're done, Lykke! People are watching.
