Lykke Li emo laughingly calls itself in the odd interview. The darkness that prevails in Sweden for six months a year has forged a non-exempt from certain intensity more typical of the nineteenth century and both the one and the other is reflected in his latest work, Wounded Rhymes. This second album confirms what is already reflected in Youth Novels, his debut, a real phenomenon, especially on the Internet and rave about that sales had discrete but an artist who discovered huge, deep and tremendously gifted.
The result is an atmosphere of grayness of tint, oppressive at times but wonderfully melodic, with a sharp percussion laden basic rhythms, powerful, almost instinctive. Wounded Rhymes tells stories and discover shamelessly Lykke Li's passion for rock of the 50 and 60, creating a dangerously addictive cocktail.
The tone of Li has a child touch, very cool. This makes the contrast even more with the general tone of the album, where singer / songwriter, accompanied by Peter Bjorn And John, creates a dense, palpable as if it were a cave filled with smoke and humanity. However, the aroma given off is cold, recalls the moment less happy and far from being ugly, captures very slowly creating a very specific mood and helps to understand that Li was at the time of composing these songs.
The furtive glance which allows us to take Li through Rhymes Wounded leaves a residue of pique, bitterness, nostalgia for times gone by that we missed opportunities between the toes, to become aware of what could be and was not . The drama no uncertain environment takes over-song, but the pathos uncompromising strength with a torn, almost desperate.
Video | Lykke Li - I Know Places (Youtube) A good part of the disk runs slowly, like shuffling walk on the sand, creating a very slow tempo that allows reflection and take pleasure in the little nuances that hides the letter carefully with honesty and simplicity and which recounts the misadventures of lost love, broken promises that are rolled between the fingers and the unfulfilled desire to never find answers.
One of the best cuts of Wounded Rhymes has been aptly chosen as a single. 'I Follow Rivers' is the song tracklist round, but with a very small difference compared to other themes. Just listen once to let you carry no resistance to this microecosystem that Lykke Li has given birth to making use of their own life experience and some influences that remind us of the great successes of rock in the late fifties and early sixties, not only in this simple, but in other subjects such as' Youth Knows No Pain.
" Video | Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers (Youtube) Despite the apparent calm with which runs the album, at no time do you get to heavy. Li has achieved that holy grail that can go for consistency of style and proposal without falling into monotony. For this he has enough sincerity overwhelming and dramatic rhythms even in slower times are remarkable.
The end of the tracklist, closed for 'My Silent Song' is a great summary of the whole disk
