She has the Tour Stop appearance on this week’s Embedded, and she was previously on Current’s Daily Fix, but do you really know Lykke Li?
Hailing from Sweden, Lykke is becoming a big contender in the indie and electropop sets. Stereogum named her an artist to watch in 2007, and she’s since gained even more momentum, playing shows worldwide and making a few television appearances, including Last Call With Carson Daly. Her cover of “Knocked Up” by Kings Of Leon has gained a lot of notoriety on blogs this year. She’s also had the opportunity to work with other recent indie favorites like Kleerup, N.A.S.A, and Bon Iver.
Doing “Dance Dance Dance” with Bon Iver:
Her debut album, “Youth Novels,” was released January 2008, featuring the song “I’m Good, I’m Gone,” which is heard on tonight’s episode. While a second effort is in the works, Lykke has said that it may be a little while before fans get some official new music. In the meantime, you can check out her new song “Possibilty” from The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack and even still grab her first record, available on iTunes.
Here’s an exclusive outtake from tonight’s episode, in which she talks about her love for A Tribe Called Quest:
