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 [...]
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"
Late last week JJ released another 5 track EP, entitled “High Summer”. This unfortunately features none of those trademark covers, but everything is just as good. The title track is the easy stand out taking everything we love about summertime rap and throwing it into a dream-pop concoction. Head over to Sincerely Yours to download.
In case you missed the news, jj dropped another free EP last week. The melodic stoner dreampop sensibility chugs along through the five news tracks, though I wonder if the novelty's wearing off - it's certainly not as much fun as Kills . The highlight is the title track "High Summer" with its silly stolen rap and gratuitous f-bombing. JJ - High Summer by Way Less Effort jj - "Times" jj - "Times" [...]

If the original version of Swedish dream-pop duo jj 's latest single "Beautiful Life" , with it's sighing vocals, gentle gallop and icy haziness, could be considered a sort of winter-set daydream, then think of Virginian knob twiddler Atom Christie 's dubstep remix has getting the tune re-fitted for those forthcoming sticky-hot summer nights. Re-pasting the vocals together into a puzzle-like patchwork of chipmunk-sped chirps and giving that aforementioned gallop a dancehall-esque spark, all while bringing the requisite mechanic churn that all dubstep creations must spew, Christie morphs what was once sublime and dreamy into [...]
After two years, Swedish duo jj is back with a new single and sounding better than ever before.
Wonderful Swedish dream pop duo jj ’s newest track, ‘jj n° 4’, colloquially known as ‘Beautiful Life’ is just really lovely. It’s quiet and reassuring and feels like waves washing over you. And not in an “AAH! I’m drowning!” kind of way- in a pleasant, the “water is giving me a hug” kind of way. The sweet vocals of Elin Kastlander , tell you that she’s “so in this bitch…” and that “he’ll never get over me.” I think this means that maybe she’s a little bit bitter about a dissolved relationship, [...]

Mavado's "I Know You Want Me" is the type of slow-burning reggae groove that from second one makes you feel like you need to be smothered up against another human being for one of those serious-faced, dry-humping-on-the-dancefloor sessions, with the only level of communication between you two being the teasing friction of your respective clothed private parts grinding to the beat. The addition of Ne-Yo on the remix isn't even necessary (mainly because, who cares about A-list features here when the potential for possibly making a baby with your slow wind partner is the [...]

Tweet This is 100% true: at university, I was officially designated a Sexy Voiced Person. What this meant was that I got to do the voice-over for the student radio station idents. Since most of you probably never heard those, I hope you'll humour me and imagine, for the rest of the post, that I sound like a cross between Sean Connery and the Old Spice guy. I may not actually sound like that. Okay, with that piece of house-keeping out of the way, [...]
As with most things having to do with jj, this latest freebie from the mysterious Swedish outfit's Sincerely Yours website , a song entitled "Celebris" by a band named Special Club, brings about a lot more questions than answers; namely, who in the hell is Special Club. Nevertheless, the record is another instantly addicting curiosity, a summery, lighter take on jj's signature brand of crunk-peppered Balearic pop with Auto-Tuned ethereal boy/ girl vocalists (the girl being jj's Elin Kastlander) living out the party-loving rap-star life with their popped bottles and "purple kush", somehow despite [...]
