MagnetOct 4, 2012This minor genius from Gothenburg hurdles over [the heartbreak record] as effortlessly and charmingly as his livelier material. [No.91 p.58]
-
Sep 4, 2012The record sounds crisp, expensive even, but it never sounds slick or soulless.
-
Oct 12, 2012I Know What Love Isn't is Lekman gracefully coming to terms with the breakup, and his lyrical and musical variations on this fixation keep the album compelling.
-
Sep 7, 2012Even when he focuses his unflagging talents within fixed bounds, Lekman's still one of the most distinct and observant writers in indie rock today.
-
Sep 10, 2012Jens sticks to what he knows, combining his spry guitar playing and razor sharp pop sensibility.
-
Sep 4, 2012Lekman has always had a neat turn of phrase, whether barbed, droll or plainly silly. Again, there's [sic] plenty of them here.
-
Oct 16, 2012At the end of the album, no stone on the topic of love and disillusionment feels unturned. Such is the strange comfort of blanket statements, but Lekman's fans may still feel the pea-like irritant of stories lanky and untold.
