[Pearl]

She's awesome! I have her two CDs on my iTunes. I also like her song "Possibility" from that Twilight movie. Horrible movie, beautiful song:

Not a big fan of that new song, but it's the first Lykke Li track I've heard, so I might be cobblering it. Nice, just not stellar.

Can I request that we keep that weird dog-loving Mofo out of this thread?

 

[PhilsFan]

You haven't heard Wounded Rhymes? Get on that shit now.

Here's a sampling:

[cobl04]

Ehhh liked that less the new one. Might just excuse myself out.

You didn't hear this one ?

[Imperor]

New track is solid to these ears. Continuing in the vein of some of the quieter stuff on Wounded Rhymes, which was the best album of 2011 so I can deal.

 

[Imperor]

Yesssssssssssss.

[Imperor]

Oh shit oh shit oh shit this is the hottest track released yet:

Gunshot

 

[PhilsFan]

She got the longform treatment at P'fork the other day:

Lykke Li: Better Off Alone | Pitchfork

 

[Imperor]

Welp, I'm gonna go ahead and toss this on the 2014 Mount Rushmore after six or so listens.

 

[PhilsFan]

I've listened three times and I like it, but it hasn't quite sunk in just yet. I think a few more listens will do it.

 

[gump]

I'm loving this album, guys. Had Just Like A Dream on repeat for a good 4-5 times earlier today.

 

[corianderstem]

Need to pick this up this week. Haven't heard a thing off it yet. Don't care. Am buying it post haste.

 

[Imperor]

Yep, this and Lost in the Dream are #1 and #2 in some order.

 

[lazarus]

She's been living in Los Angeles for 2 years?

WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS BEFORE

 

[PhilsFan]

Because it's a city with nearly 4 million people and you're making an effort to not appear to be a stalker?

 

[Danny Boy]

If you wait long enough, though, you'll probably randomly run into her while you're sitting in traffic.

 

[corianderstem]

This is good. I like it.

But wow - 32 minutes? I like a concise album as much as the next fool, but ... wow.

 

[Imperor]

"Never Gonna Love Again" could've lasted 32 minutes by itself and I would be beyond thrilled.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This is good. I like it.

But wow - 32 minutes? I like a concise album as much as the next fool, but ... wow.

This just convinced me to listen to the album. That's awesome.

 

[Imperor]

Managed to find the LP tonight, and it's a beaut. Pretty steep at $30, but I didn't want to make the same mistake I made with Wounded Rhymes, which goes for over $100 now.

 

[iron yuppie]

I'm still trying to arrive at an opinion on this thing. The first two tracks are stellar, but many of the songs are lacking a certain vitality that was on Wounded Rhymes. I do love the 60s-style guitar work going on in something like Silver Line, though.

 

[Danny Boy]

I sprung for the hi-res FLAC today. It's pricey, too, but I had a 10% off coupon at least.

 

[PhilsFan]

The orchestral swell from the second half of "I Never Learn" was stuck in my head quite a bit yesterday, only I couldn't place where it was from and I thought it was from a Gorillaz track.
