2 LP – indie clear vinyl
Casting his mind back over twenty years to his first rudimentary experiments with sampling using his father’s old cassette recorder, Jens Lekman recalls an instinct to create music that would set him far apart from his Swedish pop peers: “all my friends were playing in these bass-guitar-drum bands”, he says. “I’m going to sound like Scott Walker. But I’m going to do it in my bedroom”.
Works of sweeping, maximalist, orchestral wonder sung in a sumptuous tenor, weaving lifts from obscure flea market vinyl records, telling burningly romantic and mordantly funny true-life tales from the sleepy-shadowy suburbs of Gothenburg, Lekman’s early songs come from a different time and place: an era when the internet was young, limitless and disruptive, sample culture was turning music inside out, and anything felt possible. “The Cherry Trees Are Still In Blossom” and “The Linden Trees Are Still In Blossom” are a pair of lovingly and painstakingly assembled reduxes, each keeping the same core tracklisting, spirit and source material as the originals, but blending brand new versions of some tracks, in part or in whole, together with many tracks left largely as they were.
Both records are fleshed out with rare, previously unreleased, and even previously unfinished old songs, as well as other contemporaneous material such as cassette diaries.
