The official soundtrack for 2008’s Twilight wasn’t much to sniff about (kind of like the movie). Only a few scant cuts from blood letters Paramore and Linkin Park littered the tracklisting. Conversely, the marketing blitz for Twilight sequel New Moon has been nothing short of buzz-worthy and downright confusing. The final tracklisting was announced today on Myspace and writer Stephanie Meyer’s website and it’s just as ripe for hipsterdom’s cognitive dissonance as we surmised. More
Under the Radar articles on Those Performing This Weekend
Apr 16, 2009By Mark Redfern
We have posted to our website select previous Under the Radar interviews with some of the great artists playing the Coachella festival this weekend. If you’re heading out to the festival, then check out these interviews at the links below to either give you a primer on an unfamiliar artist or remind you why they are one of your favorites whose set you will definitely be catching. Even if you’re not hitting the desert festival, this is a great collection of back issue content newly posted to the site. More
When I ask Lykke Li if her songwriting process is cathartic, she seems to feel insulted. It’s a lazy question, I admit, one that’s almost guaranteed to elicit a certain answer from a songwriter who writes songs so full of insecurity, restlessness, and self-reproach. More
Lykke Li does not want to be a pop star—she wants to make that clear. Though recent years have eroded much of the boundary, as well as the stigma, separating the pop and non-pop worlds, she nonetheless expresses frustration over the fact that after seven years of writing and singing her own songs she is still categorized more with pop singers than singer/songwriters. More
In 2002, when indie kids in the U.S. looked to Sweden as a hotbed for new music upon the emergence of bands such as The Hives, 16-year-old Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson was devising her escape from Stockholm. More
For quite some time now, Lykke Li has specialized in soundtracking a particular kind of moment. So often on her previous releases, she has perfectly encapsulated a crossroad between being disillusioned with love whilst also being completely submissive in its presence. More
Half an hour into Lykke Li’s set at the Apollo Theater she proudly proclaimed, “My new album is kind of a bummer, but I have to stay true to my heart.” More
Sheets of rain greeted festival attendees on day three of Way Out West. Over drinks, festival co-founder Joel Borg joked that their goal is to be one of the prettiest festivals in the rain. Judging by the surprising lack of mud puddles at the end of the deluge, he may be able to hang that mission-accomplished banner now. More
On her 2008 debut Youth Novels, Lykke Li scored a hit with “I’m Good, I’m Gone” by essentially rewriting Lee Dorsey’s “Working in a Coal Mine.” A clever piece of repositioning for sure, but as part of an album notable for its experimentation, it remained unclear if she could replicate its earwormy success without retread. The answer? Yes. And no. More
On day three of Coachella My Bloody Valentine threatened to burst a thousand eardrums. As we entered the festival site around 12:30 PM they were handing out complimentary earplugs in anticipation for the aural attack. Other highlights included a blood-splattered Fucked Up, an energetic Friendly Fires, and the incredibly strange Throbbing Gristle. More
