Lykke Li —full name: Li Lykke Timotej Svensson Zachrisson—was born March 18, 1986, which makes today her 27th birthday. She's revealed a lot about herself through her two albums, Wounded Rhymes and Youth Novels , but beyond that, she's a private person. In today's age of over-sharing, it's refreshing to come across an artist who truly seems to want to focus on the art. Of course, every artist says that they focus on the art, but when Lykke Li says it, we believe it. An old soul who claims she was "born with a broken heart," there is [...]

Say hello to Shout Out Louds . This may not be your first time coming across them, as the Swedish indie rock quintet has been around since 2001, but they've been making some changes. The band just released Optica , their fourth full-length album, on February 26. Unlike their previous albums, which were produced by indie rock personages Phil Ek (who has produced albums for Band Of Horses , Fleet Foxes and The Shins ) and Björn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John (who has produced albums for [...]
Posted in Something For The Weekend Soundbite El Perro Del Mar's latest album Pale Fire was a bit hit for me last year, but lately I've been listening to her debut offering, which similar to Lykke Li is perfectly formed heart broken pop. 'A Better Love' sits firmly in that category and is perfect for a Sunday listen. When you're over the [...]

For those who've already become bored with the seemingly endless number of producers emerging from the underground and earning heavy praise across the wi-fi wastelands for the way they re-form '902s/ 002s R&B gems in fascinating new shades, then perhaps you might want to hide under a rock, because it's looking like the wave isn't going anywhere anytime soon. New-to-us find, Canadian track-flipper Kid Masterpiece , has been doing his thing for about a year now, specializing in re-draping classic cuts from names like Ginuwine, Ciara, Lykke Li and even Cherelle & Alexander O' Neal in alluring [...]
Nell'Italia che arriva sempre ultima in Europa per quanto riguarda i successi europei, la charts settimanale offre il paradosso del primo posto conquistato da un brano uscito nel gennaio 2011, che quindi ha due anni: si tratta "I follow rivers" della svedese Lykke Li, che l'Europa ha già ascoltato e comprato per tutto il 2012 e che da noi arriva solo adesso, comunque conquistando il disco di platino (30mila copie vendute, meno di un terzo di quante ne servano in Germania per lo stesso riconoscimento, già conquistato anche li (doppio), come in Austria, Svizzera e Belgio. Oro in [...]

Welcome back to The Recommender. Did you miss us? After a temporary hiatus, partly enforced due to a severe and unexpected computer malfunction, but also partly volunteered so we could ride out the endless waves of blog lists that swarm the online world through December (end of year lists) and the start of January (2013 ones-to-watch lists). We're starting 2013 with a serious contender for the best discovery of the year. Yep, we think she's that good. Welcome back. Welcome back to your favourite rambling tipster. We return with a delivery of pop. Pop is something of a [...]
Music has taken me many places man but my most recent adventure might be the one to top them all. I spent last week on a 26,000 acre private Villa off Mexico's virgin coast. I was there curating the music for someones 50th birthday and this person shall remain nameless but all I can say is that my life will never be the same. A good friend asked me what I got from the trip and aside from the most luxurious partying I've ever done, hanging with some of the most beautiful and elegant women I've ever encountered, having [...]
Stealing Sheep é um nome bastante curioso para uma banda. O trio inglês de Liverpool é formado por três mocinhas bastante simpáticas e fofas. O elemento fofura também está presente em todas as composições de seu álbum, Into the Diamond Sun , que foi lançado em 2012. Comparadas com Warpaint ou The Staves , a banda faz um folk meio dark, meio dream pop. Elas já estiverem em turnê com nomes já consagrados no mundo da música, como St. Vincent , tUnE-yArDs e Emmy the Great , além de terem declarado que [...]

Non è un vero e proprio mistero (Giacobbo, non abbiamo bisogno di te!), ma uno di quei 'casi' che capitano di rado e ci lasciano perplessi: I Follow Rivers di Lykke Li (nella versione The Magician Remix) è, al momento in cui scriviamo, nella top ten dei singoli scaricati su iTunes , precisamente al secondo posto. Intendiamoci, il primo estratto dal secondo album "Wounded rhymes" non ci dispiace e abbiamo parlato spesso di Lykke Li qui su Soundsblog . Ci chiediamo però come un singolo accattivante - forte di un remix [...]
Every year I find a plethora of music that would fit perfectly on my year end music lists. Unfortunately, a large majority of the music I discover is from years before and therefore disqualified from my arbitrary year end list making rules. That's why I've decided to make a list of the favorite artists and songs I discovered last year whose music was actually released previous to 2012. There can only be so many Rodriguez's out there, so the majority of my list consists of bands from the past few years who forever reason [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List Mr. Porter | Saint Laurent Given how pretty, stylish and charismatic the average indie rock or underground music star is, it's really no surprise that so many modeling agencies, designers and fashion photographers want to work with them. The latest rocker to be lured in front of the camera and onto the runway is Great Lake Swimmers frontman Tony Dekker, who donned a [...]
The 15 Best Gigs of 2012 in The World (that I attended)! Primavera Sound at the Forum Barcelona, Spain: Coverage My first experience at Primavera Sound was so amazing that it prompted me to purchase tickets for the following year prior to any lineup announcements. Just a few of the acts I saw were: The Cure, Saint Etienne (as the clock struck 12 on my birthday), Justice, The Xx, Sleigh Bells, Grimes, Friends, The Rapture, Franz Ferdinand, [...]
