Product Description
CD Description
Jens Lekman returns with his first new music in almost four years, with the mini-album `An Argument With Myself'.
Witty, literal, and location-specific, the songs are all heading somewhere as a means to either go crazy or keep from doing so.
From the title track's inner battle about moving to Melbourne, or the manic roadmap of directions to any place but here (and any time but now) of `New Directions'.
Jens has a devoted hardcore following desperate for new Jens music and he'll be returning for shows in the UK in October shortly after this release, including an already soldout show at London's Heaven.
This is a collection of five of the most impeccably crafted songs you will hear in 2011.

Jens Lekman is a singer/songwriter from Sweden and this little gem of a release
has made me want to hear more of him but let's try and make do with this for now.
There are only five songs in the set but each one of them is a beautifully
crafted composition. Lyrically erudite; charmingly melodic; perfectly-formed.
Mr Lekman has a voice which is very easy to listen to; a light tenor possessed
of the kind of diction rarely heard within the boundaries of our own shores.
You could take him home to meet your mum and she would doubtless love him!
Some might find him a bit of a lightweight but I challenge you not to be
pleasantly carried away by the delightful trumpet and sax interventions which
punctuate Mr Lekman's cheery staccato vocals on the bright and breezy number
'New Directions'. The jolly rhythms and crisp guitar playing on opening track
'An Argument With Myself' (crikey he don't 'arf pack the words in tight!) bursts
into the air like a golden ray of sunshine and the more gentle and reflective
'Waiting For Kirsten' will give you a nice warm feeling deep down in your tummy.
OK I'll admit it's not exactly rocket-science but it made me smile!
Highly Recommended.

17 minutes of Morrissey meets Vampire Weekend meets mid-to-late Orange Juice. All in a nice gatefold cardboard sleeve. Makes you prick up your ears.

if you like 'An Argument With Myself' then I would recommend buying it. The cover is also a very attractive shade of mint.
