Swedish songster Jens Lekman has a new album, I Know What Love Isn’t (artwork above), set for release on September 3 via Secretly Canadian, and here’s a first taster – watch the video for the title track below.
While no doubt too twee for many, it’s typically sweet and filled with quotable tidbits, and boasts a flute solo to make Belle and Sebastian feel envious.
Lekman’s playing a month-long European tour, which is only making three stops in the UK – here are the dates:
SEPTEMBER
Wed 19 – Ruby Lounge, Manchester
Thu 20 – Hackney Empire, London
Fri 21 – The Haunt, Brighton
