About Jens Lekman

Swedish indie pop artist Jens Lekman combines a daring use of samples with songwriting that's tender, witty, and vulnerable. He emerged from relative obscurity to international critical acclaim with his albums on the Secretly Canadian label throughout the mid-2000s. In addition to his more traditional records, Lekman explored a variety of conceptual releases, including his 2015 Postcards series, which found him writing and releasing a new song each week for a year, and 2019's Correspondence, a musical back-and-forth between Lekman and longtime friend and collaborator Annika Norlin. In 2022, Lekman continued a habit of revisiting older material by releasing re-recorded, re-titled, and expanded revisions of two early albums, removing original albums Oh You're So Silent Jens and Night Falls Over Kortedala from streaming services and other internet platforms and replacing them with The Cherry Trees Are Still in Blossom and The Linden Trees Are Still in Blossom.
