Youth Novels, Lykke Li
Early last year a new wave of Swedish artists began to receive mainstream attention. A year on from ‘The Whistle Song' and the Scandinavian invasion is no transient novelty genre. The latest artist set to bust out of her home land is 22-year-old Lykke Li, whose could-it-be love song ‘Little Bit' has laid its hat in head.
$2 Breakfast
OK, so the breakfast only goes from 9.30am till 10.30am. This is weird because IKEA opens at 10am, but the restaurant opens at 9.30am. So when you go in they actually say "you can't go in yet". But if you say "I'm going to the restaurant" you can go in.
For $2 you get bacon, sausage and eggs, only scrambled eggs.
Dr Denim
‘Dr’ is one of those marketing prefixes that implies a sense of expertise, which unfortunately is not always reflected in its associated products.
One needs only to look at the ill-fated Dr Mario, “wrinkle free” followers of Dr Lewinn’s or the one-time soda cult of Dr Pepper for examples.
Gram shoes
Over the obsession surrounding sneakers, Swedish duo Alexis and Anna of Gram have designed a range that are less in your face and more on your foot.
The Swedes know how to minimise with style and Gram shoes are no exception. The designers have taken upmarket country influences like hunting traditions from aristocratic Britain and paired them with a streamlined shape made for the city.
Love And Youth
It won't be long before radio stations suck the disco-blood from neck of Swedish singer-songwriter Jenny Wilson and, her album Love And Youth is lost among a graveyard of hack remixes. If it hasn't already happened then you should enjoy it while you can.
"Let My Shoes Lead Me Forward", despite the occasional shudder-inducing Scissor Sisters similarity, is like a squirt of serotonin to a raved-out mind, while the subtler "Summer Time - The Roughest Time" couldn't be more poignant as sunshine burns people's shoulders and relationships seem to burn people's hearts.
3 Small Journals
It’s functional, it’s Swedish born and it’s not Ikea. kikki.K does office in style, without resorting to the mundane mass of Officeworks.
If, like us, your virtual office rotates between a café, the pub and the studio – you probably (yes like us) have work-related crap sprawled from here to Heathcote.
