Lykke Li has shared the reverse engineered version of her latest, immersive, audiovisual album EYEYE (2022) (pronounced EYE). The new version, ƎYƎYƎ, is now available via Play It Again Sam / Crush Music. The new album is accompanied with the re-release of her 40-minute audio-visual Odyssey EYEYE ODYSSEY for the first time ever on virtual platforms.

The new album arrives with “TЯAƎH ЯUOY OT YAWHӘIH”, featuring NATURE via Sounds Right, in collaboration with the music industry’s climate foundation EarthPercent. ‘NATURE’ officially launched as a musical artist on major streaming platforms through Sounds Right, an initiative from the Museum for the United Nations – UN Live and partners, which allows nature to generate royalties and funding from her own sounds.

This version of “TЯAƎH ЯUOY OT YAWHӘIH (feat. NATURE)” includes the sound of crickets, summer winds and birdsong, recorded in Lykke Li’s garden and downtown LA, and is the first in a series of releases that highlights the intersection between music and environmental awareness.

The new version, mixed by Warren Brown takes a radically experimental approach, reverse-engineering the original tracks to deliver a sonically unique experience, showcasing Lykke’s continued evolution as an artist, with a haunting, otherworldly sound that mirrors the introspective and visionary nature of her earlier work. Expect a captivating, boundary-pushing album that reimagines the original EYEYE in surprising and deeply resonant ways.

The visual components of EYEYE were released alongside the original record, and were displayed as an immersive installation at The Broad museum in Los Angeles. You can watch the original videos here. Directed by Theo Lindquist and shot on 16 millimeter film by cinematographer Edu Grau (A Single Man, Passing), the one-minute videos were to be viewed as fragments of a larger story. “We wanted to capture the beauty and grandeur of a three-hour European arthouse movie, while making something native to modern media,” Lykke says. “The intention is to deliver the full impact of a movie in sixty seconds on a phone screen, which is where most of our emotional experiences happen now anyway.” The videos evoke the album’s core themes of fantasy, repetition, and the infinite loops we’re stuck in. They are now being reversed to accompany the new edition.
