Jens Lekman - Life Will See You Now

Release Date:02/17/2017;Notes:Jens Lekman describes his new record, Life Will See You Now, playfully, but also honestly, as "a midlife-crisis disco album it's an existentialist record, about seeing the consequences of your choices". It's a typical Lekman album in several ways: sly humour is key to it's heartfelt nature it inverts pop's writing norm by making songs with sad concerns sound happy and songs with a happy subject sound sad and it plays with notions of identity and the self. But, as the title suggests, it also represents a significant move forward, as if across a threshold. It's the more expansive, upbeat sound of a revitalised Lekman, who is just one of many characters in his new stories about the magic and messiness of different kinds of relationships.;Track List:1.
