Distinguished by her light-hearted, soulful electro-pop sound, indie songstress Lykke Li has charmed the ears of music lovers everywhere with her youthful voice and eclectic style. Her songs have been described as “powdered sugar pop” creatively combined with dark undertones. 
 
Lykke Li was born in Sweden, and grew up living in different countries all around the world. With a passion for music and adventure, she moved to New York at the young age of 19 to begin working on her career. She found inspiration in music superstars such as Madonna and Michael Jackson, and desired to create a pop sound unlike anyone else. In part, her career was jumpstarted by fellow musician Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, who produced her first record in 2008. 
 
Youth Novels immediately became a sensation, receiving praise from critics all around. “It is a twinkle-toed debut that dares to suggest what others can only make tediously plain, and leaves us in the rarely-enjoyed position of actually wanting more.” (Drowned in Sound). After its success, Li continued writing and creating music. In 2011, she released her second album Wounded Rhymes, which was hailed by Pop Matters as “a dark record, borne of lost love and youthful frustrations…A seriously heavy and seriously excellent album.”

Lykke Li’s first two releases not only illustrate her raw talent as an artist, but also display that we have only begun to see the unique music style she is capable of developing. “All of her words seem to be vitally important to all of her life stories, and the sounds supporting that venture are anything but dispensable.” (Adequacy) Discover the enchanting work of Lykke Li for yourself during her debut on Austin City Limits.

Patrons are invited to stay and enjoy The 11th Hour Lounge DJ After Party from 11pm-12:30am featuring Tina T.
