That's what Jens Lekman is, if that sobriquet is not an oxymoron. The wry singer-songwriter's packed show at the Mohawk Patio was part of a Swedish invasion, along with dance-pop queen Robyn and the Shout Out Louds. Beneath the stars on Thursday, Lekman - whose Night Falls Over Kortedala was one of last year's most beguiling releases - put on one of the one snazziest shows of the SXSW week. He spiced his lightly bouncing songs with a dollop of disco, and blended gentle irony with open hearted grace, ideal for an ironic generation on the hunt for real feeling.
