Lykke Li (Lykke Li Zachrisson) is quite popular among electronic-minded hipsters here in NYC, and for good reason. Her indie electronic tunes are bass-heavy and feature beats quite conducive to dark alley clubs on the LES. She's a little quirky and has a knack for reproducing melodies from the 1980s while making them sound fresh and new. She's certainly off the beaten path for a Swede, but her novelty should be welcomed. Her newest album was released in 2011 and reveals a more confident and gritty side, as she casts aside any lingering timidness and sings freely with conviction.
Albums: Wounded Rhymes (2011), Youth Novels (2008)
Tracks: Get Some, Sadness is a Blessing, I Follow Rivers, Rich Kids Blues, Little Bit, Breaking It Up
