2026 Charity Shop Purchases #15 - Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes
When I picked up Monday's Music From The Chocolate Lands this album was sitting directly underneath it as the CDs were stored vertically as opposed to horizontally.
The name Lykke Li rang the vaguest of vague bells and on the basis that it only cost 50p I though I may as well take a punt.
From 2011 on the LL/Atlantic label Wounded Rhymes is the second album by Swedish singer songwriter, actress and model Li LykkeTimotej Zachrisson who is thankfully known as Lykke Li for short
My vague recollection was confirmed when I got home as I had a couple of songs by her on compilations.
Her music blends elements of indie pop, dream pop and electronica. I find myself much more drawn to it than Anna Calvi
Further proof that it is a keeper is that I have played it the whole way through twice already and was not tempted to turn it off or skip a track. This came as a pleasant surprise.
Chapeau to Spence who mentioned her a a candidate for LL in my Double Initials series even although she did not make the final cut
