Jens Lekman announces new album 'I Know What Love Isn't'

It’s the news we here at Best Fit have been wanting to bring you for quite a while: Jens Lekman is set to release a new album!

The Swedish singer will release his first full-length in five years during September and it’ll take the name I Know What Love Isn’t.

I Know What Love Isn’t is the follow-up to last year’s An Argument With Myself EP and will be celebrated with a full European tour, with a trio dates in the UK including a show at Hackney Empire on 20 September.

Jens has also been so kind to preview a track from this coming release, ‘Erica America’ airing on Pitchfork earlier today and which you can stream below.
