Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana começou com algum impacto musical, mas com pouca actividade nos dias seguintes, tendo tido o seu maior pico no dia de ontem, com muita música nova e boa que, pelo menos a mim, me acompanha e que me faz usar o botão de partilha para com muita gente. Iniciou-se muito bem
jj: High Summer - "All I need is here on my wishlist: beer, cigarettes, you, and whiskey," (Times) and the new EP High Summer by jj . With its released perfectly timed to coincide with the scorching temperatures of July, High Summer speaks volumes with its unabashed five songs. With endless quotable lines and catchy beats, it won’t just be the sun melting your face off. jj is an indie/dream pop Swedish duo comprised of Joakim Benon and Elin Kastlander. Since their debut in 2009, jj has been constantly recreating [...]
The Brooklyn-based Theophilus London has long been one of my favorite young hip-hop artists around because of his tendency to think outside the constraints of genre boundaries in his music. His sound, alternates seamlessly between his funk-infused, Pharrell-esque singing voice and smooth rapping vocals. London's music truly reflects progression in music as stringent classification becomes a thing of the past. His versatility and willingness to collaborate and experiment across different genres (Soul, Funk, R&B, electronic and alternative) is embodied by this mixtape. Check out some of my favorite tracks below and download the whole tape free here . A [...]
DOOM and producer and frequent Dave Sitek collaborator Jneiro Jarel's ( TV On The Radio , Björk , Massive Attack ) joint project JJ DOOM will finally see its debut record put out. Alternative hip hop hub Lex Records will release Key To The Kuffs on August 21st. The set will feature 15 new tracks, including collaborations with Blur / Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn and Portishead vocalist Beth Gibbons [...]
If you're listening casually, you might interpret jj's simple, and sometimes even immature lyrics as a game. But if you analyze the instrumental composition, its surprisingly complex, structured, and carefully designed. High Summer is a dreamy pop EP for those drifty summer days. Listen to "Big Hearts, Big Dreams" and download the album below. Download: jj - High Summer Dow nload jj Big Hearts, Big Dreams
And like that, half the year is gone. For the doomsdayists, that means less than half a year until it all comes crashing to an end. In light of being prepared, I picked up a new little toy this last week: a beastly, black on black 1979 El Camino. The thing has a 350 V8, gets terrible gas milage but is in great condition. It growls and twists its body when you hit the accelerator. It makes you tingle. One of these days I'm going to create a playlist dedicated to [...]
jj High Summer out on 6.22 Free Download C+ Spend some time in the stoner pop corners of YouTube and you’ll come across a familiar debate: how bad is lyrical simplicity, really? One defensive commenter will cite early Beatles tracks, while another claims that a lack of complexity is this genre’s greatest fault. What it really comes down to, though, is the way these lyrics mesh with an artist’s sound. Swedish pop duo jj isn’t [...]
In celebration of Swedish holiday Midsummer’s Eve, the chillwave, electro-pop duo jj have shared the High Summer EP. The sweet and breezy indie-pop may help you through this weekend’s east coast heat wave. Check Out: High Summer [mp3] [...]
Summer is a time for love- at least according to Swedish pop band jj. To make the waiting time for their next full-length LP go by a bit faster, the duo have released a five-song EP entitled High Summer. The EP is certainly reminiscent of the current season. The tracks are sweet, romantic, and melodic. But overall, High Summer is a lot like a summer fling: it’s fun at the time, but you hardly remember it come September. The band get things going with the EP's title track, "High Summer." For those [...]
BLKKATHY 's sound is trendy - think pulse-driven dance tracks, reverb, and distant sounding women singing about just how much they don't care. It's a trend for a reason, but without going into the semantics as to why, allow me to introduce you a band that can take these elements and do them all well. Kate Faust, a.k.a. BLKKATHY , has all the lyrical defiance and self-evisceration that will be familiar to any fans of jj , but matches it with a total dedication to New York's disco electronica influence. Aloof, [...]
The proverbial summer tune usually has a couple of beach-rock or beach-pop tropes that earn that label, but jj's new EP, High Summer , manages to be evocative of the heat, energy and flavor of the summer months without relying on the predicable generic tricks. A swedish duo composed of Joakim Benon and Elin Kastlander, jj is all about mood and pace. On "103, Kastlander stretches out every word, every syllable, as if the season's heat has everything moving in slow motion. It's not a track with a hook, but it's also a track that doesn't need one. Instead, [...]

We'll admit that this year, we're just a little overly-invested in the battle for "song of the summer." It's partially because we hate how damn catchy Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," one major contender for the #1 spot, is, partially because the song it's going toe-to-toe with, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," is legitimately amazing, and partially because we're unable to get the incredibleness of jj's new High Summer EP out of our heads. Now, we know what you're thinking: there's no way the dreamy electronic pop of Swedish duo jj's going to end up [...]
Hip-hop loving, dream-pop chubbin' duo jj released their High Summer - EP last week and shamefully, I am just bringing it to you now. The Swedish twosome may have gained more of the limelight with their 'covers' of hip-hop/rap songs, but High Summer reminds that underneath it all, this group is a fantastically talented pair. This is particularly noticeable on the title track. Listen below. Comment. Grab the EP for free . MP3 | jj - "High Summer"
Every summer needs a playlist. I usually make mine a week or so before Memorial day and update throughout the hot months. For me, the perfect playlist is a mix of power pop, punk, rock, alt country and electronic. My top summer song may be an anthem or a dance track. While it's not required that the word summer actually appears in a song, album or band name to mark the season, there's no shortage of references. Dana Buoy beat almost everyone to the beach this year with the May release of Summer Bodies , a rollicking [...]
