Split Works are proud to present indie music Godhead, Jens Lekman, live in Beijing and Shanghai this December. Darling of Pitchfork (who don’t give darling status lightly), we predict that Jens will win China over the same way as he has all other corners of the globe.
“I think the idea that the world has become smaller because of communication technology is just bullshit… it’s just as beautiful and glorious as it always was.”
Since winning international attention and a passionate fanbase with his 2003 album EP and file share success story Maple Leaves, Jens has become the leading light of the indie set for his beautifully crafted pop songs and reluctant hipster style. His latest album, 2007’s Night Falls Over Kortedala, named for the “depressing suburban hell” he loves to call home, provides the best showcase yet of his blend of 50s camp, heavy sampling and entrancing lyrics.
On his China tour Jens will be joined by long time collaborator and sample master Viktor Sjöberg. Continuing the trend that has seen him go from touring with an all female band dressed in white to headlining New York’s CMJ Music Marathon as a singing DJ, Jens will be mixing it up during his three China gigs. Support comes from Arrows Made of Desire at Beijing’s Mao Live, while in Shanghai Jens will jazz it up at JZ before bringing his China chapter to a close at the Glamour Bar.
Enabling Jens and Viktor’s China tour to take place are our esteemed partners. The Embassy of Sweden in China is supporting these talented ambassadors of Swedish creativity throughout their China tour. Special thanks must go to 42BELOW Vodka who are creating their own space in China’s nascent music industry through their support of luminaries like Jens。

今年12月, Split Works将把独立音乐又一神人带来上海和北京进行三场现场演出, 他就是来自瑞典的Jens Lekman. 他是Pitchfork的宠儿, 这家很少把艺人称为自己宠儿的媒体, 由此我们可以预料到他这次中国的演出会同其它国家一样的精彩.
“我认为那种称世界变小是因为通讯技术的说法就是胡说, 它还是一如既往的美丽和灿烂.”
凭借2003年的EP专辑以及Maple Leaves专辑成功地共享, Jens Lekman获得了全球的瞩目, 并开始拥有来自世界各地的乐迷. 就这样他那种美丽,轻俏而又流行的音乐风格在独立音乐界独树一帜. 2007年发行最新专辑Night Falls Over Kortedala, 一个被他称为郊外忧郁地狱似的家乡, 整张专辑他将50年代校园风情, 重感的采样和迷人的歌词融和在一起.
