Jens Lekman - The Linden Trees Are Still In Blossom

Jens Lekman reflects on his early bedroom-recorded, sample-rich music inspired by Scott Walker, blending orchestral pop with witty, heartfelt stories from Gothenburg suburbs. After gaining a cult following and acclaim—especially for 2007’s Night Falls Over Kortedala—his early works like Oh You’re So Silent Jens and Night Falls Over Kortedala were withdrawn. Now, Lekman reimagines these albums as The Cherry Trees Are Still In Blossom and The Linden Trees Are Still In Blossom, blending new versions, unreleased tracks, and original material. These reworks serve as portals to his past, honoring his unique style while offering fresh perspectives on beloved songs.
