Um álbum que parece ter passado um pouco ao lado de muita gente foi o mais recente trabalho de Jens Lekman, 'I Know What Love Isn't'. Certo é que eu pensava que o iria incluir no meu Top '12, mas não. Certo é que este novo álbum não chega aos pés de 'Night Falls over Kortedala', mas mesmo assim Jens Lekman continua o mesmo artista poético que, mais coisa menos coisa, continua a tocar

Jens Lekman There's no better way to begin a week and battle the Monday blues than by getting your grubby little paws on free stuff. Fortunately for you, The G-Man has managed to get his magnificently manicured maulers on a pair of tickets to classier-than-thou gigs lined up for The Half Moon in Cork later this month. German composer Nils Frahm (November 22nd) and Swedish multi-instrumentalist Jens Lekman (November 23rd) both pay a visit to Leeside in the coming weeks and to [...]
Jens Lekman, the great songwriter from Sweden, came to New York last month in support of his third album, I Know What Love Isn't, out now. After he played a few songs for FADER TV, ... read more
Jens Lekman throwing his name in the ring for best usage of a snapback in indie rock, ensuring that Toro y Moi has some serious competition. This is Jens Lekman doing what Jens Lekman does best: finding the melancholy middle ground between Morrissey and The Magnetic Fields and filling it up with offhand and acerbic romantically-tilted anecdotes about his friends. Except that he looks a bit more like Gunther from Friends than anyone in the actual cast of the NBC sitcom. Scandinavians, you know. More recent Jens videos below the jump.
Set against a plain white background, this video is nothing more than Jens Lekman doing his thing. “I Know What Love Isn’t” is a pretty, witty ballad for fans of pop music in the style of Belle And Sebastian. Lekman is at the forefront of Sweden’s tremendous pop invasion, and this clip shows why. His [...]
Jens Lekman has never been one to hide his emotions, and that may be one of the most compelling things about him as a performer. His combination of wry humor and stark gloom gives the Swedish indie-popper's confessionals a sense of melodrama and melancholy few contemporaries approach. Lekman's previous single "Erica America" prompted one to wonder if he'd been taking happy pills, and the title track off of "I Know What Love Isn't" (out now on Secretly Canadian) is indeed sunnier, in Lekman's own way. Self-deprecation is still prominent, but the simple rhymes are more lighthearted and, this time, [...]
Jens Lekman is a lyrical therapist who crafts songs that are equally self-medicating as they are comforting to hear on his latest effort: I Know What Love Isn't.

Swedish crooner Jens Lekman dropped a new video recently for the title track from his forthcoming album I Know What Love Isn't . This album was released early to people who pre-ordered it, so I've had some time to enjoy it for quite a while already, and although I personally love it all the way through, I always find myself drawn back to this song in particular. In its three minutes and 33 second duration, "I Know What Love Isn't" offers a condensed version of practically everything great about Lekman's music, from the carefree melody and playful arrangement to [...]
