I’m not the biggest of fans of Jens Lekman. Granted I feel he’s done some great work and there are a few standout tracks on his albums, but for the most part his music sounds far to retro and far to psychedelic for my taste. Just listen to this track here from his album Night Falls Over Kortedala (iTunes) and tell me that it doesn’t sound like the opening theme for a Nick at Nite rerun marathon. Now that we all understand how I’m not a super fan of Jens {although he does have a great name} I would like to add that I really like his cover of Paul Simon’s You Can Call Me Al. It’s an era of music that coincides nicely with the present day sound of Jens Lekman. Almost like it was meant to be.

I love the line “he sees angels in the architecture.” Always have, always will.
