Jens Lekman: Night Falls Over Kortedala

The new Jens Lekman album could be described as "cuter than a button" which is an expression my grandma used to use, and one which never made much sense to me. Speaking of Grandmas, yours would probably dig Night Falls Over Kortedala because Jens is only one or two degrees removed from Frankie Valli or Barry Manilow. Jens has a clear knack for pop melodies, but he's soft and buttery.

That's right, if Jens continues his successful career, it's entirely likely that your grandkids may one day wonder how you ever liked "that kind of music" and why it was cool in it's time (though it's really not at all).

People are either going to love this album or say to themselves, "Wow. I didn't realize it before, but this guy is kind of a puss." I mean, just look at the cover. Who cares though, there are some great songs, and some cheesy songs, and some cheesy songs that are great.
