Smitten by Lykke Li

SVB is smitten with the debut album Youth Novels from Sweden's Lykke Li.

Li's debut is an intimate and wistful collection of pop songs dressed up with flourishes of jazz, synth/electro-pop, folktronica, Phil Spector-esque production and Li's child-like vocals. Fans of this album liken her to Tegan & Sara, Morcheeba, Peter Bjorn & John, Beth Orton, El Perro Del Mar, Jane Birkin and The Ronettes. In fact, Li is all of these yet transcends them, and her album is one of the best of the year so far.

Here's a very tasty remix of the song "Little Bit" via Spinner.com remixed by Loving Hand (DFA's Tim Goldsworthy
