He might look like a tough guy in the photo above, but 28 year old Swedish singer-songwriter Linus Lutti performs under the disarming moniker Little Children and creates lush, calming pop in the vein of Junip and Nick Drake. The songs on his recently released EP, In Hau, tend to be somber without seeming dull or drawn out, maintain a constant urgency driven primarily by Lutti's vocals, which range from a hushed husky drawl to a bold Bon Iver-esque falsetto.
