Poor Jens Lekman. It seems like every relationship he finds himself in ends in misery. Lucky for us, he has channeled his broken heart into a charming catalog of string-driven pop, enhanced by intelligent lyrics and tingling vocals. Sometimes tough...

... fiction is by examining how engrossingly unique their delivery is. Songwriters like Neil Young, Jens Lekman, and Stephin Merritt have a tendency to express their emotions and consequential scenarios in remarkably original form, regardless of how romantically frustrating or socially awkward it is. They play by their own rules and do it seamlessly, causing their genius-level status...

Cover vs. Original: Jens Lekman/Nagisa Ni Te - Me On The Beach
Zeon's Music Blog (Free subscription) | 06/16/2008
Seriously, just how awesome is Jens Lekman. He made the second best album of 2007. He gives away tons of mp3s from his self-releases on his site. He has a cool, witty blog, which he calls 'Smalltalk' instead. And he covers obscure songs I never heard of. 'Me On The Beach' was on his 2005 US tour EP, and though it's a fairly simple recording, just him and a piano, Jens really made...

... for “Take My Hand” on the Shelflife site. Finally something a little different: Did you ever wish Jens Lekman had more Bruce Springsteen and less Beat Happening on his iPod? Do you feel a need for melodramatic, melancholy, over-the-top balladry from a guy in a ill-fitting suit and a 5$ haircut? Yeah, me too. Here’s Joel Alme and one of the best songs (”The Queen’s Corner”) from his...

Kristoffer Ragnstam… in 2008
Obscure Sound - Indie Music Blog (Free subscription) | 07/25/2008
... While Ragnstam does not yet have the same level of recognition overseas as fellow countrymen like Jens Lekman or José González, there is nothing indicating that his talent as a songwriter falls short of such other high-rising Swedish songwriters. In fact, I found myself so impressed with the final product of Wrong Side of the Room that I would be surprised if Ragnstam does not break...

... into the Paisley Underground movement. Q: You've also played with musical acts like Yo La Tengo, Jens Lekman, the Shins, Aimee Mann and They Might Be Giants. A: I never identify myself as "alternative," though, and would never stop working any clubs. It doesn't go along with my work ethic. Q: But do you enjoy doing comedy at music festivals like South by Southwest, Bonnaroo and Bumbershoot?...
