Jens Lekman

The Ruby Lounge
28-34 High Street
Manchester, England M4 1QB Get Directions
Jens Lekman will release a new album, I Know What Love Isn’t, on 3 September on Secretly Canadian. The album is his first full length in five years, following the critically acclaimed Night Falls Over Kortedala. The opening track sets the stage for what’s to come: a simple melody picked out on an echoey upright piano, like a disused one you might find in a schoolroom or church. The tune, Every Little Hair Knows Your Name, is bittersweet but gentle, with a sustain that fades into the acoustic guitar and twinkling flourish of chimes on Erica America, the album’s first single.

Jens will also being playing a handful of European dates this autumn, including in Manchester - the only UK date north of London.

Support comes from Brous. Touted as a 'human powerhouse' and 'prodigious chanteuse' by Rolling Stone, Melbourne artist Brous possesses an uncompromising vision for pop. Equal part exotica diva and pop auteur, the bold singer weaves together a mesmerising palette of 1960s soundtrack fetishism, shimmering psychedelia and industrial lounge, with nods to pop traditions stretching from Japan to Brazil to Eastern Europe – stunning melodies all crowned by Brous' extraordinarily powerful voice. Brous has sung on Bollywood soundtracks and Hollywood film scores, curated festivals, and kept up a constant schedule of new projects and collaborations with artists including Michael Rother (Neu!), Jens Lekman, Francois Tetaz (Gotye, Kimbra) and Mick Harvey. Throughout all this activity, Brous has been developing a body of stunning new music soon to be unleashed on Australian audiences and across Europe and the UK for the first time, featuring Brous’ gifted band made up of members of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, Lost Animal and Boredoms Boadrum.
