Swedish troubadour Jens Lekman might not know what love is, but he knows what it isn’t. At least that’s the story he’s sticking to on his new album of lush ballads and pop songs I Know What Love Isn’t. The singer-songwriter has never been afraid to wear his Scandinavian heart on his sleeve and he knows how to spin a story, whether it’s his drunken attempt at stalking Kirsten Dunst or an awkward dinner with his lesbian friend’s father. Hear for yourself, when the ever-charming Swede plays an early show at Venue, Nov. 2, 8 p.m., with guests Taken by Trees. Tickets at Red Cat, Zulu Records or ticketmaster.ca. Note: All tickets purchased for The Commodore Ballroom show will be honoured at Venue.
