The Opposite of Hallelujah

Jens Lekman

Witty, sample-heavy indie pop that finds the grand cinematic beauty in life's most awkward and unglamorous failures.

March 15, 2005 · Secretly Canadian

A charmingly clumsy attempt at grandeur that succeeds because of its vulnerability.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, triumphant burst of strings that undercuts the self-deprecating lyrics about a useless crab in the title track.
The insistent, almost frantic repetition of the chorus in No Time for Breaking Up, turning a plea into a rhythmic mantra.
The way the lush, sampled orchestration creates a cinematic scale for a song about the mundane fear of dying alone.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
