75. Lykke Li - Hanging High


From The Album Youth Novels

Fuck damn it I love this song. It is so cute and majestic and sad when it shouldn't be whatsoever. Swedish indie folk singer Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson has sung her way into my heart with a simple yet effective folk tune " Hanging High". Below is a live video of the song done in the style of the lowfi field recording (A Take Away Show, Black Cab Sessions.); which is super ultra futuristic hip right now. Sometimes field recordings can be downright stupid and other times, like this one, they can be amazing. Even though you cannot here the background singers as well, Lykke Li's voice is still amazing and comparable to a cold swedish siren call.
