Listen Before You Buy points out that Lykke Li released a new song called “Come Near” for Record Store Day. The song came with a compilation released via Swedish label Ingrid (formed by big Swedish artists such as Lykke Li, Miike Snow, Teddybears, Peter Bjorn and John, and others), called Ingrid Volym 1.
