I just found out belatedly that Jens’s record debuted at #7 on the AIMS top 200 chart! Top ten! Woohoooooo! :)
pitchfork: “a compact gem”
Pitchfork gave the Jens Lekman EP a 7.9! Read Brian Howe’s very thoughtful review here:

“There isn’t a wasted moment. Each song does something distinct both sonically and lyrically.” NICE!
Great “Argument” review
“It’s one of the best tracks in his catalogue to date.” Nice!!

Records done // back on tour
WOW, this last few weeks have been insane. I’ve been working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, mixing mixing mixing! But everything came out fantastic. Sorry I haven’t written in a minute.
We’re leaving on tour in the morning in a blind rush; I’ll post mixes when we get back, in a couple weeks. Looking forward to seeing friends on tour — Shannon’s schedule is here!
