Lenka Likens Brooklyn to Sesame Street -- Exclusive Video

Lenka, an indie pop songstress from Down Under, has had a varied musical career. Starting out in the sonically complex electronic band Decoder Ring, the chanteuse moved to a solo career that traded heavy guitar for simpler and more delicate instrumentation.

The Aussie girl sat down with Spinner before her show at this year's SXSW festival to talk about her recent string of successes, how she likens Brooklyn to Sesame Street and the motivation behind her next album, 'Two.'

"I was in an electro rock band originally called Decoder Ring ... That was beats and distorted guitars and very different to what I do as a soloist. But I wanted to kind of return to a little bit of that, particularly to the electronic side of it, building up soundscapes and beats that are a bit more danceable."
