For fans of: FKA twigs, Lana Del Rey, Banks
Lykke Li’s The Afterparty is a journey through the night, turning the collective feeling of hopelessness into a celebratory revenge. With hooky choruses, maximalist arrangements and “apocalyptic bongos,” The Afterparty asks the eternal question. It’s 4am: can we have one last euphoric dance before the hangover crushes us? Featuring a limited vinyl with a transparent printed outer sleeve and exclusive stunning 20-page insert, it’s as much a visual artefact as it is a sonic one.
