LIV is a Swedish-American indie pop supergroup formed in 2016, comprising Lykke Li, Andrew Wyatt and Pontus Winnberg (of Miike Snow), Björn Yttling (of Peter Bjorn and John), and producer Jeff Bhasker. The project represents a convergence of the 'Ingrid' collective, a Swedish artist-run label and creative hub.
Musically, LIV departs from the synth-heavy or minimalist tendencies of its members' primary projects, instead embracing a lush, psychedelic folk-pop sound reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and ABBA's more pastoral moments. Their sound identity is defined by intricate vocal harmonies, analog warmth, and a romantic, sun-bleached aesthetic. Despite the high profile of its members, the group has maintained a semi-mysterious profile, releasing a string of singles rather than a traditional album cycle. Critical consensus highlights the project as a successful exercise in collaborative chemistry, praised for its ability to evoke 1960s nostalgia without feeling derivative. They occupy a unique cultural space as a 'musician's supergroup,' blending high-end pop production with indie-rock credibility.
