It’s felt like a long time coming, but all the heart-broken out there can smile now as Jens Lekman has announced his follow-up to 2007’s wonderful Night Falls Over Kortedala. I Know What Love Isn’t (which, I think you’ll agree, is a prefect title for a Jens Lekman album) will drop on September 3 in the EU via Secretly Canadian (or Service Records if you’re in the Scandinavian region), and a US release will follow the day after on the 4th. (That’s the artwork above.) But you needn’t spend all that time revisiting 2011’s An Argument With Myself EP in a bid to get your Lekman fix, as you can listen to the track “Erica America” below. You can also read the tracklist, which you might notice features the 2010 track “The End of The World is Bigger Than Love”, and also features the track “Every Little Hair Knows Your Name” twice. What the means we can only wait and see! Check out some of his tour dates below, too:
