Swedish siren Lykke Li, whose Youth Novels, produced by Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, was one of the more enticing, and understated, indie pop platters of the year, plays the First Unitarian Church on Friday night.
When she played Johnny Brenda's last year with countrywomen Anna Ternheim and El Perro del Mar, Inquirer review David Stampone likened the 22 year old singer , whose full name is Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson, to "a young Liv Ullman channeling Madonna."
Last you might have heard, the show was sold out, but now it's been moved upstairs to the FU Sanctuary, so more tickets are available. Check the R5 Productions web site for details. The "Breaking It Up" video is below, and a clip of "Dance, Dance, Dance" with Bon Iver underneath that.
