Jens Lekman pre-orderers granted bonus material

As previously and enthusiastically reported, a direct-mail order of Swedish pop star Jens Lekman’s spectacular new LP on vinyl gets one a “free digital download coupon,” redeemable for an album’s worth of material (a blessing for all who collect records yet can’t make room in the Volvo for a phonograph). Now, pre-orders of the upcoming full-length, titled Night Falls on Kortedala, open wide the digital e-gates to undetermined bonus material, which Lekman promises “won’t be horseshit.” Night Falls comes out October 9 on Secretly Canadian, so you have before then to get hooked up, as it were, with the extra bits.

Get there early for Lekman’s tour dates this fall, as his primary supporting act (a.k.a. Lekman and band member Viktor Per Sjoberg doing a DJ set) go on second. Or maybe, in this case, stay on while everyone else wanders off.

The dates:

October
23 - Bloomington, Ind. @ Jake's
25 - Washington, D.C. @ Black Cat
26 - Philadelphia, Penn. @ First Unitarian Church
27 - New York, N.Y. @ Webster Hall
29 - Boston, Mass. @ Paradise

November
1 - Cleveland, Ohio @ Beachland Ballroom
2 - Chicago, Ill. @ Logan Square Auditorium
3 - Minneapolis, Minn. @ Triple Rock Social Club
6 - Seattle, Wash. @ Nectar
7 - Portland, Ore. @ Someday Lounge
9 - San Francisco, Calif. @ Bimbo's 365 Club
10 - West Hollywood, Calif. @ Troubadour
