Listen Up! No. 86: Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers

Tweet

Swedish singer Lykke Li may already have earned her stripes as the artist du jour where stark, haunting electro for finger-on-the-pulse indie kids is concerned, but new single 'I Follow Rivers' - taken from upcoming sophomore record Wounded Rhymes - also suggests she has the chart chops to boot. No less gothic than her previous efforts, the track adds a hint of Balearic beat and a Gaga-esque chorus to the usual synth-driven melange.

Every little thing she does is magic? More like ghosts in the machine...

Listen Up! No.17: Kele - Tenderoni

Tweet

Bloc Party's increasingly frowning frontman releases his debut solo effort - 'The Boxer' - this week, and he's only gone and the done the whole electro/dance thing hasn't he! Who saw that coming (erm...)? Anyway, to save you the trouble of listening to the whole thing (which is fairly mediocre), here's the only track you desperately need. It's essentially a gentleman's update of Wiley's 'Wearing My Rolex', but by Jove, it's a belter.
