SOUNDCHECK
LYKKE LI

Coachella Festival, Indio, California Friday, April 19, 2009

Trying to rouse a somewhat placid
mid-afternoon crowd, Swedish
electro-popster Lykke Li yelled,
“Wake up and smell the Swedish
Techno Coffee!” The blonde ingénue
didn’t need to worry. The burbling,
keyboard-driven whimsy “Little
Bit” and a surprisingly emotional
cover of Kings of Leon’s “Knocked
Up,” combined with the singer’s
aerobically awkward dancing (or was
it jazzercising?), eventually got the
crowd moving.
