The album came out of a break up which isn’t a new story. He fell in love and it didn’t work out. It borrows sparingly from the vast and colorful palette of sounds he created on Kortedala. I KNOW WHAT LOVE ISN’T has strings but not a string section, an upright piano not grand, a single saxophone, gracenotes from a flute, a lot of tambourine. Combined in exact proportions with Lekman’s melancholy abstract lyrics, the songs evoke the classic sound of the Brill Building in it’s heyday.
