Jens Lekman to tour the UK, stick it to ATP :: Music News :: Articles

Night may be falling over Kortedala, but Jens Lekman's not going to be around to see it. In the wake of his stop at SXSW (and a longer stint in the U.S.), Lekman's riding the acclaim accumulated after the October release of Night Falls Over Kortedala throughout the UK.

But first, the silver-tongued songsmith will take his sweet Swedish indie pop along as he makes his inaugural appearance at Coachella, performing the first day of the festival. He'll also stop at the ATP vs. Pitchfork throw-down in Camber Sands May 11. Jens graces the Pitchfork team, if anyone was wondering.

For a taste of what Lekman sounds like live, listen to his performance last week at NPR's Studio 4A, or watch his extended Take-Away Shows.
