Jens Lekman November 27, 2012

Jens Lekman will release a new album, I Know What Love Isn’t, on 3 September on Secretly Canadian. The album is his first full length in five years, following the critically acclaimed Night Falls Over Kortedala. The opening track sets the stage for what’s to come: a simple melody picked out on an echoey upright piano, like a disused one you might find in a schoolroom or church. The tune, Every Little Hair Knows Your Name, is bittersweet but gentle, with a sustain that fades into the acoustic guitar and twinkling flourish of chimes on Erica America, the album’s first single.

Jens will also being playing a handful of European dates this autumn, including at the Thekla.

Support comes from Joyce the Librarian. Fronted by singer-songwriter Martin Callingham, their sound is 'understated but undeniably beautiful - simple guitars and flashes of cello and trumpet back softly-spoken lyrics'. Recently signed to Folkwit Records, their first LP, They May Put Land Between Us, was released on 5 November 2012.
