Banner of the Week: Jens Lekman
2005.11.28
“Swedish songwriter proves himself one of the year’s most promising new talents with an indie pop concoction that owes as much to the Avalanches and Phil Spector as to Morrissey and Magnetic Fields.” – Pitchfork
“Jens Lekman is a lovable goofball.” – AMG
“He’s got that lovely combination of a wry mind and a yearning heart which can bring tragi-(romantic) comedy to slicing off your fingertip when your girlfriend throws her arms around you as you’re cutting an avocado, and cuddly warmth to a misfiring new couple thrown together in a cold Swedish winter.” – SMH
Oh You’re So Silent Jens, Lekman’s new album, is definitely worth a listen.
