  • Music that made Ola shaky, teary eyed and sleepless, comforted only by Jens accepting to join Service.

    This was a rare glimpse of commercial success, an actual hit record, albeit a strange one. Jens' unique mix of yearning bedroom recordings, majestic sampling and dark, laconic humor spent 22 weeks on the singles chart, peaking at no 11. National radio played two songs simultaneously on heavy rotation and Petsounds record store sold a copy every two minutes the entire release day.

    The artwork highlights Jens' lyrical tone.
