Lykke Li gets deported

She may be a gloomy old sod, but we love Lykke Li and her tearsome brand of sadpop. The Swedish star is in between albums right now, but she popped up on Facebook yesterday to post a new track - recorded with sibling pop group Deportees.

A New Name To Go By is a twilight lullaby, where Lykke Li's layered vocals swirl around a drowsy steel drum loop. If this was the 80s, she'd perform it on Top Of The Pops in a sea of dry ice while two backing dancers rotated slowly behind her in white silk sheets.

But it's not the 80s. So here is a Soundcloud link. How disappointing.
