LYKKE LI - Little Bit EP

lykke%20li-little%20bit.jpg

The third EP featured this week (!), this domestic debut (produced and co-written by Bjorn Yttling of Peter, Bjorn and John) packs the most pop punch of the lot, as Li uses its 15-minute format to best briefly state her case and make a memorable first impression. Bolstered by production with a spirit similar to Hanne Hukkelberg's kitchen-sink style or Gonzales and Mocky's work with Feist, "Little Bit"'s steel pan-like mandolin and the subtly whacked sax, trumpet and flute in the backgrounds of "Dance, Dance, Dance" and "Everybody But Me" prove creative enough to almost upstage their star.
