“Swedish singer-songwriter Jens Lekman returns for his genre-conquering second album, encompassing the baroque pop of Scott Walker, the upbeat rhythms of northern soul, and plenty of Swedish beach-party disco.” Pitchfork 9.0 高分評價!

Like a modern day Chet Baker, Jens loves to sing about heartache. This is his first album in over three years, and Kortedala refers to a neighborhood in his hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden - "a depressing suburban hell". It also refers to a vague musical pop sound with hints of tropicalia that has been coming out of Gothenburg's clubs the last few years. "Night Falls Over Kortedala" features many previously unreleased live favorites and guest vocals from label-mate Frida Hyvonen and El Perro del Mar.
