(SOUNDBITE OF JENS LEKMAN SONG, "WEDDING IN FINISTERE") GROSS: Our rock critic Ken Tucker has a review of the latest album by Swedish singer-songwriter Jens Lekman. It's called "Life Will See You Now." Ken says Lekman's very popular in Europe, and his previous three albums filled with autobiographical musings have gained a solid cult following in this country.
