The LK have album, tour, video
Sweedish duo The LK released their debut album Vs. the Snow in the U.S. yesterday. In celebration, the duo also released their first ever music video for the song “Stop Being Perfect.”
Additional details and U.S. tour dates after the jump…
The LK is the collaboration between Lindefelt, abstract sound artist, and Fredrik, pop visionary and songwriter par excellence. Fusing musique concrète-style collages of sound with iconic pop arrangements, the typical LK song is both gradually mind-invading and comfortingly direct. Recorded with a minimum of equipment, VS. the Snow was built largely by gluing pieces of Lindefelt’s abstract sounds, lyrics and voice to Fredrik’s simple, beautiful melodies and chords. The resulting 11 (including 1 bonus song for kora) tracks make for a crisp, fuzzy, stylish, melancholy noise-pop cocktail with a human warmth and dark sense of humor.
