Watch Jens Lekman on NPR

Nov 23rd, 2012 in Music

We were swept away by Sweden’s Jens Lekman’s first album, Night Falls Over Kortedala, in 2007.  While Lekman has put out an EP in the interim, his latest album, I Know What Love Isn’t, is his first album in over five years.  On the new album, Lekman again sounds like a cunning combo of Belle & Sebastian and Prefab Sprout, with themes of heartbreak and survival (with humorous leitmotifs along the way–it’s his Silver Linings Songbook).  Check out Lekman performing the title track and Some Dandruff on Your Shoulder off the new album below, all courtesy of Oregon Public Broadcasting and NPR.  Then go over and buy the Secretly Canadian album HERE.
