We were swept away by Sweden’s Jens Lekman’s<\/strong> first album, Night Falls Over Kortedala<\/strong>, in 2007.\u00a0 While Lekman has put out an EP in the interim, his latest album, I Know What Love Isn’t<\/strong>, is his first album in over five years.\u00a0 On the new album, Lekman again sounds like a cunning combo of Belle & Sebastian<\/strong> and Prefab Sprout<\/strong>, with themes of heartbreak and survival (with humorous leitmotifs along the way–it’s his Silver Linings Songbook<\/strong>).\u00a0 Check out Lekman performing the title track<\/strong><\/em> and Some Dandruff on Your Shoulder<\/strong><\/em> off the new album below, all courtesy of Oregon Public Broadcasting<\/strong> and NPR<\/strong>.\u00a0 Then go over and buy the Secretly Canadian<\/strong> album HERE<\/strong><\/a>.
