She is also known as the woman I’ll be seeing perform on Wednesday while surrounded by countless other lonely, pining slobs.

Okay, seriously? Just look at that picture for a second. Then listen to her. And then remember that she’s also in Dirty Projectors. What’s next? You’ll tell me she loves peanut butter, Arrested Development, Sam Cooke, and wants to play “That’s What You Get” on Rock Band (she’ll sing)?
The world can be so cruel to me.

She’s Swedish, she’s adorable, she covers “Can I Kick It?” live, and she’s on the verge blowing the hell up. This is practically all I know of Lykke Li, the latest indie swoon-bait melting the hearts of lonely music bloggers everywhere.
Oh, and I know this: you can add me to the pathetic list of the hopelessly devoted.
To be fair to us, Lykke Li’s first LP, Youth Novels, makes for a devastating pairing for the young lady’s charisma and her totally adorable as-if-no-one-else-is-looking style of dance. The record is a beautifully sparse, entirely infectious, and utterly endearing affair. And in it, she says that she would do anything to have me as her man.
Sold.
