Heard Black Cab on my satellite radio once a few weeks ago. Loved it so I found more Jens on his Secretly Canadian website. From the sound of the single from this EP and Rocky Dennis Farewell from the first EP, this is a talent we will all see more of soon. Has hints of Sufjan Stevens, a young Leonard Cohen, and a early 90s REM from Automatic for the People and Out of Time. A bit more low-key than his fellow scandinavian and breakout artist Sondre Lerche.

4.0 out of 5 stars BLACK CAB is my favorite recent pop song, July 7, 2004

I heard the mp3 of "Black Cab" at the Secretly Canadian website, and I was immediately smitten -- it reminded me a bit of Velvet Underground and Nico, if Lou Reed was the one with the thick accent. The rest of the songs on this, and the Rocky Dennis EP, are all pretty impressive, but "Black Cab" is an instant classic.
