Snap of the day: Lykke Li

Unsigned Swedish singer Lykke Li, whose single Little Bit is out on Moshi Moshi, is heading to SxSW with a growing reputation for live shows.

The Moshi Moshi released single 'Little Bit' is a brilliant taster of this Scandinavian alt-popster, who has been widely name-dropped by tastemakers, tipsters and A&R men over the past few months, with plenty of hype crossing over from her fellow countrymen in Sweden. Comparison-wise she's been referenced next to the modern folk of Peter, Bjorn and John (possible because she shares the same producer), the haunting balladry of Cat Power and Icelandic nutbag Bjork, which is always a good thing in my book. Still unsigned as yet, expect much more name dropping this week as she heads to Austin for SxSW where she has a few shows booked in, no doubt building on her already blistering live reputation. If you're not going to make it to Austin this week, go here instead...
