[tps_header]Jens Lekman: WWJD Mixtape (self-released)[/tps_header]
What It Is: A mixtape from acclaimed Swedish indie-pop singer-songwriter Jens Lekman, released on SoundCloud.
Why You May Have Missed It: Despite being a big Jens Lekman fan, I didn’t hear about this for about a month after its release, before a friend pointed me to it. The underreporting of WWJD could be because it’s a mixtape in the truest definition. It features only three new songs from Lekman, with the rest padded out with other people’s songs, arranged so they flow into each other nicely.
Why You Should Hear It: Well, you might not have to listen to the whole thing. But you should listen to the Lekman songs, two of which (“WWJD” and “What’s That Perfume That You Wear?”) are among his best work, and the third of which isn’t half bad either.
Highlights: “WWJD,” “What’s That Perfume That You Wear?,” “I Remember.”
