To herald its arrival, Little Children debuted the music video for the record&#8217;s second single \u201cImpala.\u201d\u00a0Consistent with his signature sound, the song features airy vocals, steady percussion, and a grounding piano line. The video features a young boy \u2013 presumably in North Korea \u2013 with big dreams of space exploration. It\u2019s a universal dream that almost anyone can relate to \u2013 at one point in our lives, we all had dreams of exploring the big unknown, of going further. The song\u2019s hypnotic, repetitive feel adds to creating a dreamscape that is expansive and unlimited. It\u2019s a whimsical feature, full of childhood imagination and ambition that matches the song in feeling and pace. The \u201cImpala\u201d visuals were\u00a0directed\u00a0by fellow Swedish musician Ted Malmros of Shout Out Louds.<\/p>\n<p>Little Children debuted in 2010 with the full-length album <em>In Silence<\/em>, showcasing contemplative, melodic sounds reminiscent of Boy &amp; Bear and Bon Iver. Since then, the singer has been steadily releasing music in preparation for his second album. He has enjoyed some exposure in the U.S., playing at festivals like SXSW and opening for bands like Shout Out Louds. His brand of pop music is calm and multilayered; besides his intricate lyrics, there\u2019s also precise instrumentation and husky vocals that add to the dream world created by his music.\u00a0&#8220;Impala&#8221; also appears as a b-side on the &#8220;By Your Side&#8221; 7&#8243; out now on Swedish label Kning Disk.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/brdlw7mxyoY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedish singer Linus Lutti, known for the lush, orchestral indie pop he makes under the name Little Children, is set to release his sophomore album Walk Within\u00a0this September.
