Jens Lekman
Gothenburg crooner pairing sample-laden orchestral pop with wry, specific little stories, as on Night Falls Over Kortedala. Heartbreak told with a deadpan grin.

About Jens Lekman
Jens Lekman grew up in Gothenburg, Sweden. His early recordings, collected on When I Said I Wanted to Be Your Dog for Secretly Canadian, set his warm baritone over looped samples, strings and ukulele, with songs like 'Black Cab' built around small, precisely observed incidents.
Later albums I Know What Love Isn't and Life Will See You Now kept the conversational storytelling while moving toward cleaner, disco-tinged arrangements. In 2015 he wrote and released a new song every week as the Postcards series, and in 2022 he reworked his first two records as The Cherry Trees Are Still in Blossom and The Linden Trees Are Still in Blossom, replacing samples that had blocked their availability.
