Ushering in a return from a recent hiatus from his website, quirky Swedish songwriter Jens Lekman dropped this killer summertime mix where the common thread between samples is, as expected, their waltz-y time signature. Always known to have an eclectic taste in music, Mr. Lekman provides a fluid 28+ minute mix chock-full of obscure tracks and movie snippets (with some better known songs sprinkled in here and there) that are arranged so brilliantly that you can’t help but think to yourself: “Bravo, Jens! Bravo!”
You can check out the samples Jens used as well as a download for the entire mix below. Also, head over to his site to read more about the origins of this project.
