Back to Sweden. According to bio, The LK (full name is heavy: ‘The Love of Kevin, Colour, Chaos, and the Sound of K’) is a project of an abstract sound artist, Lindefelt, and a pop visionary songwriter, Fredrik (both of them have their own stuff). The description proves to be quite accurate when we check their album vs. The Snow which their label was kind enough to send us. Minimalistic pop melodies with a very strange atmosphere. Diverse and intense, the record is a melancholic trip through a collection of moods which result sometimes in an alternative dancey disco, pretended happiness and sometimes in post-rockish artsy sound. Childish and noisy, the album is the soundtrack of weird summer days when, at the same time, it feels and doesn’t feel like summer. A cold breeze, rain and other weird things can occupy the ruling place of hot sunwaves.

Give them myspace friendliness, check their video and read the full review on Pitchforkmedia (7.9 rating is high, of course, of course it’s Pitchfork but worth a read) and order it at The Kora Records.

My two favourites are below. Funny, the chorus of the latter reminds me of Toy Soldiers by Martika (you know the sample Eminem used haha…)
