A Swedish sweetie-pie of the most huggable variety (seriously, he's like a puppy), Jens Lekman may be the most agreed-upon indie-pop sensation in recent memory. His smooth, soothing croon has the power to simultaneously melt hearts ("I Remember Every Kiss"), fill a room with laughter ("A Postcard to Nina"), and kick a sing-along party into off-key overdrive ("A Sweet Summer's Night on Hammer Hill"). With soaring strings, Motown samples, ukulele interludes, fat horns, and uncomfortable situations aplenty ("Nina" chronicles his awkward attempts to convince a lesbian's father he's her boyfriend), his new record, Night Falls Over Kortedala, is a roundly pleasant, unbelievably endearing affair. And live, he's even more adorable.
