Lykke Li gets a little bit cosmic on this remix of "Everybody But Me", from her debut Little Bit EP, which arrives in the U.S. today. Although the EP also has the 22-year-old Swede singing "Dance, Dance, Dance", "Everybody But Me" slows down the pace, Li's lonely whisper peeking out between horns, harmonica, and eclectic percussion like so many drawn curtains. "Everybody's dancing/ I don't want to," she repeats, contemplating (shudder!) whether she should "go home sober". Oslo-based diskJokke, aka Joachim Dyrdahl, specializes like his townsfolk Prins Thomas and Lindstrøm in music that's both sun-kissed and spaced-out-- fine for everybody who wants a beat-laden evening, and neatly suited to Li's more contemplative mood here, too. Dyrdahl's remix of "Everybody But Me" adds reverb-kissed synths, handclaps, and additional percussion to Li's original, beaming the song up for the kind of escape the narrator claims she wants.
