Whether you consider her the next great Swedish pop act since Peter, Bjorn and John (whose Bjorn Yttling produced her acclaimed debut “Youth Novels”) or that country’s answer to Bjork, Lykke Li is well worth a listen, and you can catch her live now as the indie buzz builds when she performs at Metro, 3730 N.
