Lekman is a young Swede that proves there is more to Sweden than a land full of buxom blondes and happy-go-lucky Abba fans. Likened stylistically to the Magnetic Fields or the Divine Comedy, this mid-20’s prodigy shares his experiences of love often lost. He likes to be weird and esoteric and release a couple of singles and eps each year, so his record label says “Hey lets put ‘em all on one disc!” -Pete
