Blackbird Presents…
If you haven't heard Jens Lekman yet, you're missing out on one of
the true pop geniuses of the early 2000s. His sound is glittering and
shiny bedroom pop built on gentle guitars, bold and often hilariously
obvious samples, subtle orchestration and arrangement topped with
lyrical turns that brings laughs, and heartfelt vocals that can bring
tears. Lots of people have done the same thing but few are as sweet
and sly, few have the musical skills, and few balance the smarts and
soul quite so gracefully as Lekman — maybe Stephin Merritt in his
prime, maybe Beck at his most intimate.
