The sense of humor mixed with such a great style is truly fantastic, and his songs are just so incredibly well done. To have such humorous undertones and have such fun with these songs in that style and to not have it be in a mocking/jokey way at all is really remarkable. A really smart album. Great choice.

Night Falls is one of the best albums of the decade, without question. His specific style of humor (see "Postcard to Nina") coupled with the often serious tone of his lyrics makes Jens one of the best songwriters in music today. I got the chance to see him touring in support of this album and he was just as spectacular in that respect as well. Polarizing is the one word that will, for me, forever be synonymous with Jens Lekman, and more specifically "Night Falls Over Kortedala." His songs can be on par with Flight of the Concords in terms of humor, while also making you feel desperately alone in an ever disparaging world, and it's this irony that makes Jens a truly memorable musician.
