jj "nº 2"

I friend of mine in Amsterdam sent me a a disc called "nº 2" by a Swedish band called "jj" earlier this year, and it's been in my player ever since. The duo consists of Elin Kastlander and Joakim Benon. Though they've only got 4 total releases (1 single, 1 EP, and 2 full length discs), I have a feeling that they'll be cranking out good music for quite some time. They remind me of another Swedish band that I really like called "The Legends".

The disc is pure indie electronic pop, but the lyrics have just enough of a edge to keep them from dissolving into stock, sugary-sweet dance songs. However...many of the tracks CAN make you break into dance, or at least the shoulder dance whilst driving.

Overall, "nº 2" is absolutely going to make my top album list for 2010. FYI..."nº 3" also came out this year. It's got less of a pop feel to it, and I'll be posting tracks from that disc later.

Anyway, here are the first 2 tracks from "nº 2". I hope you like what you hear, and buy the album!
