Description: Channeling the demise of the Shangri-La's Leader of the Pack, women under the influence, ladies and gentlemen of the canyon, a kung-fu Marianne Faithful, and an armed Nancy Sinatra on peyote, Lykke Li has created an eleven-song album that sounds like no other. The record is packed full of pounding, voodoo drums, girl group gang vocals, sparkling guitar lines, woozy keyboards, love unrequited, hope reignited, and her own very powerful voice, sounding bigger and bolder than ever before.

"Grade of A ... hungry, dark, dirty ..."--Entertainment Weekly.

"8 out of 10 ... Steely vamp turns heartbreak into a chilling spectacle."--SPIN.

"4 out of 5 ... Young Swede delivers warped Sixties-pop majesty."--Rolling Stone.

"Sonically it's a super-charged take on the girl-group sound, with thundering drums, multilayered vocals, heart-wrenching lyrics and loads of echo - all of which contrasts with her honeyed voice."--Billboard.
Notes: Compact disc.
