The Sweptaways and Jens Lekman – Happiness Will Be My Revenge

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrKN0rFcupE&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]

Jens Lekman has released a new single/video with the help of a (group? sham? new backing band?) called the Sweptaways. I found it courtesy of the ever-wonderful I Guess I’m Floating. A few minutes of Jens riding sunny, chamber harmonies, crooning lost-love and dreams of eventual, emotional retribution. Sounds about right. I hope to see more from him soon, cause goddamn do I love me some Jens Lekman.

And just ’cause:

About Nick

"Don’t ask me why I obsessively look to rock n’ roll bands for some kind of model for a better society. I guess it’s just that I glimpsed something beautiful in a flashbulb moment once, and perhaps mistaking it for prophecy have been seeking it’s fulfillment ever since. And perhaps that nothing else in the world ever seemed to hold even this much promise" - Lester Bangs 1977 That about sums up why I write about music. I go to school at Boston University with Akhil, one of the other indiemusers, and we share similar views on music. I just want people to hear stuff. Sometimes I wish I were more eloquent. I also write for Performer Magazine, and play in the band You Can Be A Wesley. And that's me!
