Jens does Bingo!

Jens Lekman will release a highly anticipated new single on July 14th through Swedish label Service. Friday Night At The Drive-In Bingo will be released as a limited vinyl pressing of 800 copies, so act fast if you want to snap one up. The label offers a little teaser about the track; “Ever wandered what it would be like to leave city life and start a new country side community with your friends, playing bingo and watch the rabbits copulate?”. It made me want to part with my hard earned £5 anyway! The single will be backed by B-side Radio NRJ. Jens’ US label Secretly Canadian have confirmed that Friday Night will in fact also appear on the as yet untitled follow up to When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog due for release this autumn.
