I've just been listening to some tracks i downloaded from the LP 'Oh You're So Silent Jens' - its bloody great. Some tracks like 'I Saw Her In The Anti War Demonstration' sound just like early Belle & Sebastian (when the smiths/ Morissey influnce was more apparent) with equally wry lyrics-
when I was sixteen I hang out with the kids who liked it
the kind of punks that were born in leather jackets
the kind of punks who placed themselves in brackets
while on others like 'Pocketful of Money' we start with a similar fey folky thing before the choruses give us Calvin Johnson/ Beat Happening-esque super deep countrified vocals.
I know nothing about him other than he's swedish and recorded a couple of great sounding records- i'm downloading like crazy. Maybe bits of Jonathan Richman influence in there too, can anybody tell me any more about him, seen him live, recommend some other stuff? |
