  • Sipping On The Sweet Nectar, the Rollerboys remixes Ep

    SRVC004

    Artist: Jens Lekman

    Label: Service

    We wanted a wide screen THX mega remake of ”Sipping On the Sweet Nectar”. Guess if we were happy to meet Stockholm’s Rollerboys Recordings crew, who worked hard and got us the S.E.D.A.* stamp on it.

  • Night Falls Over Kortedala

    SERV031

    Artist: Jens Lekman

    Label: Service

    "From the sound of my own voice reverberating off my home's old '50s brick walls, from the ghosts of everyone who's lived here before me clapping along with their little ecto-plasm hands. My record basically never leaves the 30 square meters that I live on."

    Jens' world is between the tragicomical and the romantic, the trivial and the unspeakable, where that what we call life happens. A drop of blood in a glass of milk.

  • Oh You're So Silent Jens

    SERV020

    Artist: Jens Lekman

    Label: Service

    A compilation of Jens' three first Ep:s plus unreleased tracks. It's all here: the classic debut "Maple Leaves Ep", the strictly limited edition "Rocky Dennis in Heaven Ep" and "Julie Ep". Plus a couple mega rare songs.

    As magical as pop gets.

  • Julie EP

    SERV016

    Artist: Jens Lekman

    Label: Service

    The "Julie Rmx" reminds me of Wayne Wonder´s summer smash "No Letting Go" with it´s charictaristic percussion. Strange, I know.



    "...Anti-War..." is kind of a sequel to "...Riots?" from the album. This time Eros´ arrows hits Jens in a demonstration against USA´s war in Iraq. Pure pop close to "Black Cab" musically.


    "...Hammer Hill" is a romantiziced look-back on Jens´young life in the Göteborgian suburbs. Contains samples from a bootleg someone made of Jens´gig in the unofficial mini-festival on the camping of the small Emmaboda festival. A nice guesture to his early fans? Genius.


    "A Man Walks Into a Bar" prooves again who´s the nation´s funniest and most clever text writer.

  • When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog

    SERV015

    Artist: Jens Lekman

    Label: Service

    Jens' album debut. A collection of recordings 2000-2004. A display of true genius. A Swedish classic.

  • Rocky Dennis in Heaven Ep

    SERV011

    Artist: Jens Lekman

    Label: Service

    File under Lekman!
    This limited edition (2.200) Ep is Jens Lekman´s farewell to his alias Rocky Dennis. The first track probably is the reason Jens involuntarely got his alias from the start, as someone a long time ago mistook the name in the title for the artist´s. But it actually was the name of the severely disfigured boy Rocky Dennis and the song is the story about him and his beloved blind girlfriend, in the form of a farewell letter as imagined by Jens. A movie called "Mask" based on their true story was filmed in 1985, starring Eric Stoltz and Cher. The Ep? It sold out before it´s release.

  • Maple Leaves Ep

    SERV009

    Artist: Jens Lekman

    Label: Service

    A truly extensive debut EP that shows off Jens´s different modes. Both big, sample based arangements and intimate acoustic tracks.

    The EP hit big. It spent 22 weeks on the singles chart and peaked at no 11. Both "Maple Leaves" and "Black Cab" were radio hits.
