Swedish fey-crooner and The Line of Best Fit favourite Jens Lekman will release a five track EP – An Argument With Myself – on 19 September via Secretly Canadian.
“I was working on an album,” explains Lekman, ” I wasn’t really planning to put out an EP, but I came across this dilemma. I really loved these songs, and I thought they were great, but they just didn’t seem to fit the mood of the record. And they seemed to be the songs that people enjoyed the most when I played them live, so I decided that they belonged together on an EP, sort of like a little taste of what’s not to come.”
The EP includes ‘Waiting for Kirsten’, which we featured in an exclusive live video recording from Lekman’s South London library show earlier this year. You can watch that video again further down the page.
The full track listing is:
1. An Argument with Myself
2. Waiting for Kirsten
3. A Promise
4. New Directions
5. So This Guy at My Office
Lekman will tour the US through September and October.
