We're still reeling over here after a wildly successful Homecoming show this past Saturday! But, we have little time to gloat as our next concert, Jens Lekman in the Chesapeake on November 8th! The show is free to all students with a W&M ID and ten dollars to everyone else. Buy tickets here.
Sweden's most eligible batchelor/international popstar will not be so silent on November 8th. With the wit of Oscar Wilde, the voice of a Swedish-inflected Morrissey, the guitar of Paul Simon, a sample-laden, 21st century take on Phil Spector's production, the heart of Tiny Tim Cratchit, and the Swedeness of ABBA, Jens Lekman crafts earnest, saccharine pop songs that leave you torn between empathy and handclaps. His woebegone songs turn heartbreak into optimism in the twist of a phrase. He's an adult trapped in the heart of a child, yet where there would be naivete, Jens espouses a worldweary optimism. Lush romance tinges the world of Jens Lekman, a world the listener can't help but be seduced into as well. Who can turn the world on with his smile? Jens Lekman.
