Jens Lekman - I Know What Love Isn't

Vinyl LP pressing. 2012 album from the Swedish Indie singer/songwriter. The album came out of a break up which isn't a new story. He fell in love and it didn't work out. It borrows sparingly from the vast and colorful palette of sounds he created on Kortedala. I Know What Love Isn't has strings but not a string section, an upright piano not grand, a single saxophone, grace notes from a flute, a lot of tambourine. Combined in exact proportions with Lekman's melancholy abstract lyrics, the songs evoke the classic sound of the Brill Building in it's heyday. 1 Every Little Hair Knows Your Name 2 Erica America 3 Become Someone Else's 4 Some Dandruff on Your Shoulder 5 She Just Don't Want to Be with You Anymore 6 I Want a Pair of Cowboy Boots 7 The World Moves on 8 The End of the World Is Bigger Than Love 9 I Know What Love Isn't 10 Every Little Hair Knows Your Name
