Lykke Li News

News Mixtape: July 2012 ft. Frank Ocean, Death Cab's Ben Gibbard, Peter Broderick, Lykke Li and more

Music news these days can be kind of impossible to keep up with. It seems to be this constant scream of information, unintelligible by the sheer speed that it shoots by at, often borderline unintelligible in the first place – “what was that thumping past like an Olympic air defence missile about the one out of The Vaccines' twitpics from his holiday in Marbella again?” - and that being the case, DiS recently took the move to step away from news lest we're all sucked into some gaping cyber abyss of rumours, get-there-first reporting and regurgitated press releases. So instead, we'll be bringing you a digest of the important goings-on each month in neat mixtape form. This month - Frank Ocean issues a statement on his sexuality, Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard goes it alone, Animal Collective take to the radio, Lykke Li leads a Fleetwood Mac love-in and more...»

Watch: New Lykke Li video for 'I Follow Rivers'

News by Luke Slater

We are gradually getting more and more (a little bit...each time) from Lykke Li about her new record, which is a good thing generally, but a bad thing for impatient types like us. There's now a video been aired for 'I Follow Rivers' (which can also be streamed here). The video was shot in Gotland, Sweden and was directed by Tarik Saleh. Watch it here.»

Listen: Lykke Li - 'I Follow Rivers'

News by Luke Slater

Swedish starlet Lykke Li's new album, Wounded Rhymes, comes out on February 28. Album art for that below. This is both not long to wait and an awfully long time to wait. Judging by what we've heard so far in 'Get Some' and other selected cuts. There's now a new track floating around, entitled 'I Follow Rivers', which can be listened to here.»

Listen: 'Get Some' new Lykke Li

News by Luke Slater

Having just (mostly) finished our focus on Nordic Music in our Nordic Series, this one has come a few days late. But fear not as we'll still be adding to it over the next little while, there's still a few things to come. Still, this new Lykke Li song has come as a lovely Monday morning perk-up. Of the best kind.»

Watch: Lykke Li - 'Possibility'

News by Luke Slater

Earlier in the week we found out that the iamamiwhoami videos were NOT Lykke Li, but you knew this already. No great disappointment for fans of the Swedish popstrel, especially given that she's now aired a video for 'Possibility', taken from the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack from last year.»

iamamiwhoami...isit Jonna Lee?

News by Luke Slater

So far we've resisted doing any 'news' on the frustratingly secretive iamamiwhoami viral campaign, mainly because, well, it's all been a load of hot air and people saying "OMG ITS XTINA" or "OMG ITS LYKKE LI". Which it most probably isn't. But now our interest has been piqued by reading that some are certain they know whoitis.»
