What are bloggers saying about Jens Lekman?

-- "Jens Lekman's lyrics and music would taste like sugar crystals and gum drops"
-- "he's a gifted melodist and arranger, which in this century means he samples the right Beat Happening tunelet to update his swanky 60s-lite orch-pop."
-- "impressive tradition of turning commonplace activities into life-changing events"
