Jens Lekman Limited Edition Vinyl Giveaway!

Paste has teamed up with Secretly Canadian to give away limited edition vinyl copies of Jens Lekman’s upcoming album! With more fractured textures that combine horns, flutes, string swells and arpeggiated guitars, the opening of the EP finds Jens in constant state of transition, musically, as well as mentally. The first song and title track begins with this excellent Jens archetype, recounting an inner battle while walking home through the central business district of Melbourne, Australia. While on its face, “Waiting For Kirsten” seems to trace an ultimately futile odyssey to track down Kirsten Dunst while she films in Gothenburg, its really an attempt to work out the complex relationship one has with one’s hometown. The comfort and disappoint of what’s changed, and what seems to never change. Alternately, the horn driven “New Directions” brings a slightly manic roadmap of directions to any place but here and any time but now. The songs are witty, literal, and impeccably location-specific, and they’re all heading somewhere as a means to either go crazy or keep from doing so… We’re giving away limited edition, clear vinyl copies of An Argument With Myself to five lucky Paste readers! Jens album will be released on Sept. 20. Check out more info on Jens here. Don’t want to wait and see if you win a copy, pre-order Jens amazing new album here.
