Jens Lekman


Last night I saw Jens Lekman at Benedum Auditorium at U Pitt, and he was splendid. He is a shy, soulful, and young Swedish singer-songwriter, with wacky, witty, sensitive, and genuine lyrics and melancholy, simple, pretty compositions. I also really enjoyed Audrey's and Bob's company. Bob and I adored Jens long before the concert (thanks to [info]rumrug who discovered him for us), and Audrey was under his spell, I think, for a couple of days before the show. After the concert, Jens played "Julie" for us on his ukulele. You can download a couple of his songs at the Secretly Canadian mp3 archive. Black Cab is one of my favorites!

i'm from sweden and i love jens' music! it's fun to see how he's famous outside of sweden as well. "black cab" is beautiful and also one of my favorites! but "pocketful of money" - ah! and "tram #7". and "the cold swedish winter". nice blog.
