Osheaga 2009 Showcases La Roux, New Wavers

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) August 4, 2009 2:32 pm
It's a combination of the long lineups, the omnipresent enclosures, rigid schedules and overpriced wares, but nothing awakens my animalistic tendencies quite  like Osheaga, Montreal's massive weekend musical bash. It's not really a "music and arts festival" because a festival would imply there's some sort of cultural celebration...

Lykke Li Ain't No Dance Party

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) February 9, 2009 5:24 pm
With all the gays and American Apparel leggings, it would have been easy to confuse the rammed Lykke Li show at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre with some hip West Queen West theme night, but the Swedish pop phenom's show was often more (and less) than a primpin' dance party. The promise of dancing was there. Li started her set with a torqued-...

Lykke Li — Little Bit EP

in
By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) May 6, 2008 9:15 am
Already one of 2008's indie darlings, Swedish singer Lykke Li hands over only a few grains of her sugary goodness with this four-song EP. It's a wonderfully odd little slice of Euro-pop that'll continue to scare fans into thinking there might never be a new Peter Bjorn And John album, since Bjorn Yttling produced this EP. Things begin with the...

LISTEN: Lykke Li's The Lost Sessions v.1

By Natalia Buia (CHARTattack) December 22, 2011 2:53 pm
Last night, the Swedish dynamo Lykke Li posted on her blog a three-song collection of stripped-down songs as featured on her highly rated sophomore effort, Wounded Rhymes. She wrote, "I'd thought I'd give you this to put in your little players, either stick it in your ears or play it loud when the lights are low, mind weary and days rainy."...

Twelve Reasons To Like Lykke Li

in
By Natalia Buia (CHARTattack) December 5, 2011 10:00 am
The Swedish songbird has been on an extensive tour this year to promote her second studio album, Wounded Rhymes. She's dropped by our fine city of Toronto twice in 2011 and we couldn't be happier about that. Wounded Rhymes was one of those records everyone waited for impatiently, ever since we fell in love with her jam "I'm Good, I'm Gone"...

WATCH: Lykke Li performs moody unplugged version of "Youth Knows No Pain"

in
By Dan Busheikin (CHARTattack) December 1, 2011 10:59 am
"No shows planned"That's what it says in the 'Shows' section of Lykke Li's website. The Swedish songstress is finished touring her second acclaimed full-length, 2011's Wounded Rhymes, and evidently it's a weird feeling for her. "Last night I slept like I haven't in years," Li admits in an appropriately poetic blog post.As a thank-you to her...

Have you ever wondered what your favourite metal band's logo means? Now you know, thanks to The Grid. While everyone rushed to comment on Amy Winehouse's death this weekend, it was... Russell Brand who made the most sense. Kanye West and Jay-Z are now apparently known as The Throne, and are heading out on tour in support of their Watch The Throne...

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 20, 2011 3:20 pm
Those of you who think that the Jay-Z army big-upping Toronto's Austra on their Twitter yesterday is a meaningless act are very, very wrong. If anything, it's a sign the fact that the trio are about to explode. Sure, they've been hyped like crazy, but now we're pretty much at the point where their gothic cauldron's about to boil over — and...

If you think you can figure Lykke Li out, then you're wrong. From her quirky stage name (she was born Lykke Li Zachrisson), to the myriad of influences you can pick out of even one of her songs, the 22-year-old Swedish singer is a constant treasure chest of discoveries. "Today, we have access to all kinds of music and cultures through the...
