Youth Novels by Lykke Li
Youth Novels is an album by Lykke Li, released in 2008. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Little Bit”, on 2 lists with a best position of #60.
Youth Novels, Lykke Li's debut album, came out on 30 January 2008, with Björn Yttling of Swedish indie-poppers Peter Bjorn and John producing every note and Lasse Mårtén as co-producer. It's a small, intimate record that feels like reading someone's diary by the glow of a laptop: skeletal beats, handfuls of odd percussion, dreamy keyboards and the Swedish singer's cool, close-miked voice drifting between soul, indie pop and electronic murk.
The songs are catchier than they first let on. "Little Bit", "I'm Good, I'm Gone", "Breaking It Up" and "Tonight" all went out as singles, and the album set the table for Wounded Rhymes.
