HEAR THIS: jj

With the amount of duos that are currently out, it’s hard to say what two people can’t do musically when they don’t limit themselves. Many artists out there say screw having a four or five-piece band and continue to raise the bar for what a solo artist or duo can create. Go back to early 2009 and out of nowhere Swedish duo jj began to make a name for themselves. Combining ambient electronics and soft female vocals with pieces from genres such as dream pop, indie pop, and DJ dance music — they’ve made something that’s truly authentic. It’s been two years since their last release and this time around they’re back sounding better than ever before. Hear their lush new single “Beautiful Life” below.
