Title: Lykke Li
Post by: dave24 on January 12, 2009, 11:12:33 am: Anybody listen to her album "Youth Novels?"

I'm seeing this all over Best of 2008 lists, and it's one of the only discs I see that I haven't heard a note of... any good? Who do you compare her to?

Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on January 12, 2009, 11:21:04 am: I'd compare her to Annie. Dance music the indie kids like, and the critics have respect for, for some reason.

Interesting cross-pollination.

Post by: azaghal1981 on January 12, 2009, 12:11:06 pm: See, Marnie Stern's voice doesn't bother me at all but I'm well aware that it'd make most people cringe.

Post by: Vas Deferens on January 12, 2009, 05:52:26 pm: she does shred. I'm into Marnie, don't worry. I'm just saying that people will generally get turned off by the music, not her vocals ::)

Ani DiFranco presale tomorrow, relaxer...

Title: Re: Lykke Li
Post by: bull930 on February 01, 2009, 01:03:16 am: Just got back from the show. She was good. Sixth and I is a very interesting venue. I didn't expect for all the people to be standing for the whole show.
