Jens Lekman (lyrics, electronic, indie, instrumental, pop)

Indie pop if I've heard any, I think. He's from sweeden so it has to be good and, it is. There's a split with Jose Gonzalez on albumbase. I think they set it up in a way that you can't rip off the link. I haven't listened to it yet anyway not sure if it's any good. I do have Oh You're So Silent Jens which I can up and is really good. I can't really describe it different from most indie- odd but good lyrics, solid instrumental and cool vocals.

Well, I just registered specifically to respond to this thread. I love Mr. Lekman. "Pocketful of Money" is an incredible song, as is that entire album.

an interesting voice - worth checking out for sure...

If you like Jens, check out Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - similar voices, with electronic music.

Someone To Share My Life With and Maples Leaves are beautiful and so is his voice. I'm loving Jens so much right now.

I can't get past that his name is so similar to a Goalkeeper who plays for Arsenal JENS LEHMANN and he is an arsehole...

Haha. It was around the time that Lehmann was playing so badly (before he was dropped) that Lekman's new album came out. When I saw the title on the first review I checked out (I'd never come across Lekman before), I instinctly read it as Lehmann. And, while knowing it could not be the case, had thought to myself: "so THIS is why he's been playing so sh*te lately."

With that said, Night Falls Over Kortedala was one of the most satisfying albums of 2007.

This has nothing to do with Jens, but Cro-cop i'm afraid is washed-up my friend despite his devastating kick to the dome piece.

yeah...um, what?
