Jens Lekman, Kalendervägen 113.D

”I’m slowly moving out of my old apartment to be homeless for a few months, and for the bonus cd I recorded a handful of songs as a last concert for these old brick walls. This is the cd you get if you’ve pre-ordered the album. It’s called Kalendervägen 113.D and it has two unreleased songs on it ”The Rain Has Got To Fall” and ”Our Last Swim In The Ocean” as well as a couple of songs from Night Falls… and a Paul Simon song from Graceland I thought was suitable. It’s me, a guitar and a loop pedal, nothing else. For those of you who prefer it more au naturale.” Jens Lekman

Jens Lekman, Night Falls Over Kortedala

srvc — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:26:19 +0000

I picked up a sea shell to illustrate my homelessness
But a crab fell out of it making it useless
And all my metaphores fell flat
Down on the rocks where we sat

Jens’ world is between the tragicomical and the romantic, the trivial and the unspeakable, where that what we call life happens. A drop of blood in a glass of milk.

Night Falls Over Kortedala hit #1 on the national album chart.

Jens Lekman, Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo

Ever wondered what it would be like to leave city life and start a new country side community with your friends, playing bingo and watching rabbits copulate?

Jens Lekman, Oh You’re So Silent Jens

srvc — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:54:04 +0000

A compilation of Jens’ three first Ep:s plus unreleased tracks. It’s all here: the classic debut ”Maple Leaves Ep”, the strictly limited edition ”Rocky Dennis in Heaven Ep” and ”Julie Ep”.

There’s the smash Black Cab, the timeless masterpiece Maple Leaves, the lonely crystal sound of Jens Lekman’s Farewell Song, the genius of a song based on a sample of a downloaded bootleg of an unauthorized Jens-show leeked onto the internet (Hammer Hill), lovesick cats screaming (F-word) and…

As magic as pop gets.

Jens Lekman, Julie EP

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:53:09 +0000

The ”Julie Rmx” reminds me of Wayne Wonder´s summer smash ”No Letting Go” with it´s charictaristic percussion. Strange, I know.

”…Anti-War…” is kind of a sequel to ”…Riots?” from the album. This time Eros´ arrows hits Jens in a demonstration against USA´s war in Iraq. Pure pop close to ”Black Cab” musically.

”…Hammer Hill” is a romantiziced look-back on Jens´young life in the Göteborgian suburbs. Contains samples from a bootleg someone made of Jens´gig in the unofficial mini-festival on the camping of the small Emmaboda festival. A nice guesture to his early fans? Genius.

”A Man Walks Into a Bar” prooves again who´s the nation´s funniest and most clever text writer.

Jens Lekman, When I Said I Wanted to be Your Dog

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:49:12 +0000

Jens Lekman/Jose Gonzales

This nugget (300 copies) was made as a physical manifistation of their triumphant joint show at Göteborgs Konserthus in front of a 1.300 headed crowd in December 03. José´s is a Kylie cover.
If you have it, hold on to it!

Jens Lekman, Rocky Dennis in Heaven

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:55:33 +0000

This limited edition (2.200) Ep is Jens Lekman´s farewell to his alias Rocky Dennis. The first track probably is the reason Jens involuntarely got his alias from the start, as someone a long time ago mistook the name in the title for the artist´s. But it actually was the name of the severely disfigured boy Rocky Dennis and the song is the story about him and his beloved blind girlfriend, in the form of a farewell letter as imagined by Jens. A movie called ”Mask” based on their true story was filmed in 1985, starring Eric Stoltz and Cher.
The Ep? It sold out before it´s release.
