Jens Lekman Release Album, Tours

Swedish singer/songwriter Jens Lekman is gearing up for his newest full-length release, Night Falls Over Kortedala, which will be released October 9 on the independent label Secretly Canadian. The twelve-song follow-up to 2005's disarming EP, Oh You're So Silent Jens, was recorded over a span of three years. From what we've heard so far, it was worth the wait.
