Night and day, sun and clouds, cheer and gloom-- El Perro Del Mar and Lykke Li may tread opposite sides of the emotional line, but for this gig at Bergen's Hulen over the weekend, the two combined their powers. El Perro kicked things off solo before inviting Lykke to back her up, eventually segueing into a full-on Lykke set, and finally culminating with a lovely duet.

Apparently we can expect tandem performances like this one when El Perro Del Mar and Lykke Li hit North America with fellow Swede Anna Ternheim in May. Unfortunately, however, Lykke has been forced to cancel the remainder of her April Scandinavian gigs with El Perro. She'll pick things up again in London on April 18.
