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

The album is 11 songs with a dream like atmosphere, expressed by loops and minimal sounds. Still the debut album builds upon the foundations of their earlier work - immaculate song craft, simple melodies and Scandinavian melancholy.
