Vs. the Snow is the first full-length album by the Malmö, Sweden-based indie pop band The LK. It was released on April 4, 2007,[2] with a U.S. reissue on March 4, 2008.[3]

The album has eleven songs with a dreamlike atmosphere, expressed by loops and minimal sounds. The album builds upon the foundations of the band's earlier work – clean song craft, simple melodies and Scandinavian melancholy.[citation needed]
