The Afterparty (LP)
Lykke Li
Amoeba Review
Each new Lykke Li feels like a revelation. The Afterparty takes the Swedish singer/songwriter's downbeat indie pop sound and adds a deeper undercurrent of melancholy. Intense and introspective, the album finds Lykke Li exploring the dark side of the human experience. Themes include shame, despair, the desire for revenge, and just general baseness. The music adds orchestral and electronic elements to her usual sound, with samples of acclaimed contemporary composer Max Richer on the album's lead single "Lucky Again." A sad, beautiful, moving album that once again shows there's simply no one like Lykke Li.
