NEW YORK — Suffering from writer’s block so severe he felt physically ill, singer Jens Lekman found a way to jumpstart his creative energy - forcing himself to write and release a song, a "postcard", every week. Lekman’s new album, Life Will See You Now, comes out on Friday with, after his years of darkness, a surprise - the joy is back. Lekman goes further than before with electronics, with songs such as the sensory, readily danceable What’s That Perfume That You Wear? In an essay to introduce the album, Lekman described one’s 30s as "like your teenage years, but without all the cool role models". Traditional album sales have plummeted, which he called a "nightmare scenario" for an indie pop artist.
