The LK is a dance pop {possibly noise pop} group based in Malmo, Sweden. They craft songs that are very reminiscent of Spitzer or The Postal Service. Each track on their latest album, VS The Snow (amazon) (itunes), is filled with enough blips and bleeps to keep even the most electronically minded individual at ease. On top of their solid electronics knowledge base they craft songs filled with smooth melodies and bouncing rhythms. While some groups struggle to find their own way The LK has found a way to fit into a preexisting musical niche while grabbing a bit of the spotlight for themselves.

Tamagotchi Freestyle has some backing tracks that are almost dead on Postal Service material {and I love the title of the track}. And in this review being compared to anything involving Ben Gibbard is akin to being compared directly to Zeus himself. Private Life of a Cat might have made this post due to my penchant for listening to songs involving cats {see The Weakerthans} or it might be because this is a solid track that showcases their depth as a group. If you like The Postal Service or Spitzer this is a definite must for your collection.
