The Latitude Report #4: Lykke Li

It was with much excitement that we queued to see Ms. Lykke Li. There is always room in our heart for a Swedish maiden, and Lady LiLi is no exception, with her starkly unique sonic landscapes, constructed from angular, almost atonal beeps, bonks and grooves all sewn together by Lykke's soft yet formidable vocals... *drifts off into trance*

Anyway, we being the ignorant donkeys that we are, thought the Lady called Li might be rather subdued and coy live. Not so. Complimenting her softly biting pop treats with striking dance moves and a confidence it's hard to fake, she put on a top notch show from start to finit. There was even a short interpolation of Lil Wayne's "A Milli" (WE KNOW!!!!) and some new material (a sort of African lullaby). We urge you to see her if you get the chance.

The whole fantastic experience was almost ruined by a group of idiots next to us who were moshing horrendously (at a Lykke Li gig!!!!) and persisted in making borderline sexist, louty remarks about "laying her good" everytime Ms. Li did a vaguely saucy dance move. Nevertheless, fabulousness won the day and in all it was brilliant showcase for Wicked Wi's talent. (You're fired forever - Ed)
