"The earth's crust became solidified" - Jens Lekman's ultimate long tale in his awesome Postcards series
One of the sweetest songs he has ever written. Tonight live, in my town!
"it's fucking ridiculous" ...how good some of these Jens Lekman postcard songs are.
Each week Jens is writing a song. For Postcard 3 he explained: "Yesterday I played a wedding in beautiful Jukkasjärvi, in the very north of Sweden. The couple getting married were two australians, Erin and Alisdair. I’d never met them before but Alisdair wrote and asked if I wanted to sing for them and he seemed sweet so I said yes. And since I was going to sing for them and had to write a song this week I figured why not make the song for them."

After a postcard to Nina, Jens has decided to send one postcard each week to us. At first, songs were short and didn't feel complete, but as we go further into the year, Jens progresses and gives us better and more complex songs. This project of his is suddenly starting to feel like one of the most ambitious ideas in indie pop since 69 Love songs.
