jj - jj no. 3


jj have been making waves since they released 'jj no.2' to great acclaim last year. And the Swedish duo are releasing their follow up 'jj no.3' in March this year, followed by a tour support slot with The xx (a tour which lovers of bands with lower case double letters will love - I think my band would be called The mm or The hh).

'jj no.3' is slightly less electronic than their previous effort, but still contains the Balearic beats and is slightly more 'dream pop' with the delicately lush vocals, showcased on current single 'Let Go'. There are still some odd moments also, 'Into The Light' seems to include some Italian football commentary. This album should propel jj to a wider audience (perhaps still only on the indie scene), one who would do well to check out their last album aswell.
