The LK
Vs. The Snow

Brightest Young Things - interviews The LK
Salad Days - Interviews The LK
Pitchfork - [Stop Being Perfect] its bass groove and twinkling electronic programming somewhere between the Postal Service and early Manitoba.
Pitchfork (album review ) - 7.9,
a sharp collection of songs that keeps pulling me back for more.
Stereogum - [Stop Being Perfect] a very smoothed and melodic tune, sort of reminds us of Erlend Øye's Whitest Boy Alive project, just more buoyant, with more forward momentum. The electronic accents, the background whirls and whirrrs, and the shuffling, brushed drums set a sweet scene for the lyrics of "frozen cloud"s and "sticky black tongues." Nice tune for a wispy wintry night.
SPIN - ... a brilliant fusion of electro-pop and a languid, Kings of Convenience-like vibe. "Down by Law" neatly blends these elements, layering echoing keys under sliding synths and warm, thin vocals. Album opener, "Anorak and Other Complicated Words," utilizes soft, wavering harmonies and a plaintive lead vocal under a rumbling cello and weepy strings. These pop aficionados shift gears for "Tamogotchi Freestyle," and play with clapping drums and twinkling electronic chirps a la Postal Service. Diverse as their songs may be, the LK unite all tracks with their calm confidence and slick style.
XPN All About The Music Blog - ... equal parts Steve Reich meets early Depeche Mode and a-Ha with the emotional tug of the Pet Shop Boys.
Salad Days - ... infectious electro-pop that makes it almost impossible to sit still.
Electro Rash - ... a gorgeous, buoyant sound as captured by their debut full-length, Vs. The Snow. The crisply atmospheric album, which embodies a Postal Service-type catchiness
Cold Cut - ...an album that is the perfect accompaniment to every situation, wrapping you up with its melodies and take you along for the ride... A rare gem of a record.
Covert Curiosity - Don a pair of headphones and turn the volume up a little. Gently sway back and forth, bop your head slightly, and then you've got it. Electro-pop perfection.
Confessions of... - equal parts serious synth pop preformed with a wink, and controlled absurd chaos carried off with the highest level of artistry. Either way you slice it, it’s a whole lotta fun. Culture of Me - ... reluctantly beautiful lyrics of vocalist Lindefelt ... . Think a less whiny Postal Service (if you must compare), only way more astounding. Serious. It's the perfect accompaniment for a snowy day, a trip made alone, a contemplation of how truly small we really are.
Mr. Mammoth -
their songs are like brain crack - they hook you from the first moment you hear them... vs. the snow is a album that digs deep in the electro-pop vein, and emerges with tireless hooks and intelligent sounds.
Pasta Primavera -
The LK are complex enough to satisfy my mind and poppy enough to satisfy my ears.
Volume Knob - ... glistens with infectious, icy melodies and eerie atmospherics.. |
