Description
The album "Youth Novels" was recorded by Bjorn over the last 10 months. The album weaves its way through 14 perfectly-realized chapters, each with its own unique sound. Lykke Li's magnificently brittle, candy-coated vocals are a prominent feature of the album. The album is like a well-thumbed paperback that falls open, again and again, on the same pages: love, loneliness, frustration and obsession. The chronicles of LL's life so far, told with unusual honesty, are included in the album. Recent single "Little Bit" (released to much acclaim on Moshi Moshi earlier this year) is included, as well as tracks like "I'm Good, I'm Gone," "Breaking It Up," and "Hanging High." Throughout, there is a sense of momentum and a pursuit of some unobtainable goal.
The album 'Youth Novels', in all its minimalist brilliance, was
recorded with Bjorn over the last 10 months.'Youth Novels' weaves
its way through 14 perfectly-realised chapters. You'll hear
harpsichords, flutes, and theremins throughout the album but you'll
also hear Lykke Li's magnificently brittle, candy coated vocals.
The record is like a well-thumbed paperback which falls open, again
and again, on the same pages: love, loneliness, frustration and
obsession. The chronicles of LL's life so far, told with unusual
honesty. It includes recent single 'Little Bit' (released to much
acclaim on Moshi Moshi earlier this year), continues with the
punchy throb of 'I'm Good I'm Gone', and brilliant tracks like
reluctant breakup anthem 'Breaking It Up', Let It Fall' and
'Hanging High'. Throughout, there's a sense of momentum and a
pursuit of some unobtainable goal.
