Biography

Sweden's Jens Lekman emerged from relative obscurity to quickly establish himself as the darling of the global indie set, winning widespread acclaim from fans and critics for his uncommonly witty and well-crafted pop songs. Born February 6, 1981, in Gothenburg, Sweden, Lekman exhibited little interest in music as a child, but at 14 was recruited to play bass in a friend's cover band. Within weeks he was writing his own original material, quickly accumulating hundreds of songs. Assuming the alias Rocky Dennis (borrowed from the disfigured protagonist of the 1985 American film Mask), Lekman recorded and released a series of limited-edition CD-Rs beginning with 2001's "The Budgie-Album".

    I was slicing up an avocado
    When you came up behind me
    With your silent brand new sneakers
    Your reflection I did not see
    It was the hottest day in August
