Lykke Li @ Cabaret Voltaire, 9 Oct

Event preview by Jason Morton.
Published 26 September 2008

An appearance by Lykke Li at Cabaret Voltaire brings with it the promise of sunny pop, even as summer becomes an obscure memory in Auld Reekie. Well-informed by the infectious melodies of musical and geographical neighbours El Perro del Mar and Peter Bjorn & John, this young Swede will follow up a string of European festival dates with an autumn UK club tour in support of Youth Novels. Though Lykke’s 2008 debut steers through various pop landscapes – from lovelorn tracks such as My to irresistible singalongs like Breaking It Up – she tends to keep to high tempos in her live sets, making swinging hips and shimmying a certain bet.
