The man of eternal whimsy, Jens Lekman, is releasing a new EP on September 21 and a new LP sometime later in the year. I fully recommend everything he's done to every one I know. Despite wit, intelligence and a seeming awareness about the shitty state of the world, Jens's music is somehow instilled with an eternal sweetness and optimism. Over the past few years, he's strayed from his indie-pop beginnings sound into amazing sound kaleidescopes that take the whistful yearnings of young love and adventure and deftly move them into the realm where Daft Punk meets Otis Redding.
You'll find the title track of the EP, An Argument with Myself, here.
