Jens Lekman, the guy penning the heartthrobby ballads with the wit of a down-and-out comedian, is bringing his 'I Know What Love Isn't' tour to Australia.
Coinciding with Valentine's Day (and a few lovelorn days after), it's aptly timed as a backdrop to a candlelit date, or if you don't have anyone to go with, a musical wallow.
His most diverse album to date, I Know What Love Isn't, merges Spanish guitar, George Michael-ish saxophone and Burt Bacherach-ish tinges into a swarthy mélange, while the titular single proves that he hasn't lost his deadpan delivery. "Hey do you want to go see a band?", Lekman asks. "No I hate bands", is the response. Luckily for Lekman there are plenty who don't.
