Swedish musician Linus Lutti and his band Little Children have just released a fantastic new single, “Every Little Light,” and it’s one of his most up-tempo songs to date. Lutti has been on our radar for a number of years, and while we are big fans of the introspective heartbreaking numbers we have come to know and love, it is great to hear the sounds of unbridled enthusiasm in the song’s rock n’ roll riffs. Linus has stated ”The song is about running away. Letting go of everything and getting out. Erasing your whole life, starting from scratch. It’s about…

Sure that’s not a real thing, but if it was Lutti would be sitting on the Scandinavian indie-folk throne. The latest single from Little Children is the excellent “Hey Hey,” which combines the intricacies of a love gone wrong with the subtle psychedelic grooves laid down by bandmates Andreas Söderström and Mattias Bergqvist. The sound the…
4 Comments[R]egulars to our site should be very familiar with Stockholm musician Linus Lutti and his amazing catalog of EP’s and singles released last year. This coming May he will release a brand new full-length Little Children album titled Walk Within, and if the first single, “By Your Side,” is any indication of what is in store then we are in for something special ladies and gentlemen. The new track is a standout in the Little Children repertoire, mixing elements of 60’s soul, dance, and funk together with a modernized sound and Lutti’s heartbreaking lyrics. In 2013 the hit television show Grey’s…
5 Comments[L]inus Lutti keeps setting the songwriting bar higher and higher with each release, and his latest Little Children EP Falling (released June 4th on Declared Good Records) is another dazzling collection of well-crafted songs designed to sink deep down into the soul and make a home in your musical bones. The title track “Falling” is one of Lutti’s catchiest numbers yet and instantly wakes up the senses with marimba beats, hand-claps and a well played triangle. For the record, any song with a triangle added to the beat is A-ok in my book. The song was featured on an episode of…
4 Comments[youtube]http://youtu.be/eJIN7vtKadM[/youtube] [L]inus Lutti’s latest video is for the remarkable opening track “Islands,” from the newly released Little Children EP In Hau. The footage was shot at Stockholm’s The Strand with the audio recorded live during the filming. Yes that is correct, what you are hearing is exactly what Lutti and his band sound like when performing live on stage. Sadly, the very popular Strand was shut down late last year but the video production company was able to get in one last recording at the music club. Lutti’s haunting voice lingering throughout the now empty hall seems like a perfect…
1 Comment[H]ave you ever had a dream where you find yourself floating through the night sky, swirling around the clouds, lost somewhere between dread and repose? Linus Lutti evokes just that feeling throughout his latest Little Children EP titled In Hau, an extremely beautiful 5 song collection of haunting melody and delicate composition. In Hau opens with the track “Islands,” and immediately sets the tone for the listener’s journey through his or her own feelings of hope, or perhaps despair. Good music purposefully brings out different emotions from deep within one’s self, and sometimes you can be taken aback by what…
Leave a Comment[S]wedish songwriter Linus Lutti goes by the alias Little Children and has been in the Scandanvian spotlight since 2010, when he released his debut album In Silence. Lutti’s ethereal sound has garnered him vast praise and his musical composition has been compared to the likes of Mark Kozeleck and Nick Drake. Those are some heavy names to lay on a relative newcomer, but with the release of the gorgeous new single “Hollow” from the forthcoming EP, In Hau, it sounds as though the accolades are most deserved. Take a listen to the track above and get to know your new…
