So good. "Let Go" just blows me away every time I hear it. Beyond gorgeous. It almost hurts sometimes to listen to it.

i thought i liked jj but this new record is AWFUL! man. feels like the worst kind of late-90s trance-pop pawn shop dollar-bin dreck.
and what's the deal with "Light"?tell me / where would I be / if you / had the right to choose?
― sean gramophone, Sunday, 31 January 2010 22:06 (fourteen years ago) link
this stuff is alright for like... before you go to bed but i think people jamming jj need to up their standards

i do enjoy the new record but i will freely admit to having low standards. what should i be listening to instead? has anyone claimed to be "jamming" JJ? i always figured them for a strictly headphone pleasure and this is especially true of the new one.

not re:jj
yeah i don't get it - i like the tough alliance and love air france thus by rights i prob should like jj but i don't. snooooze.

they took the bad bits from both instead of the good bits. this has grown on me a bit tho (at least From Africa To Malaga and Ecstasy have).

'balearic' totally passed me by (I'm assuming they're balearic); big blindspot. only acts I've heard in any depth are studio, d. lissvik and mungolian jetset
― cozen, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 18:01 (fourteen years ago) link
yes, balearic they are/were considered
― sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Tuesday, 2 February 2010 18:04 (fourteen years ago) link
try meanderthals lp also cozen
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 2 February 2010 18:05 (fourteen years ago) link
oh yeah, I have that too (and a few others that don't come immediately to mind)
will def look into air france/tough alliance cos I really like the jj stuff

both these records are great imo
― f1ocki (s1ocki), Saturday, 20 February 2010 17:51 (fourteen years ago) link
they are basically as much old-fashioned "indie pop" as balearic tho no?? kinda need a taste for that kind of stuff.
half the shit labelled balearic just sounds like saint etienne 2 me

didnt think i really fucked w/ the st etienne indie end of balearic but i will fuck w/ this in a second, the version of that akon song they do is the best of their rnb covers, but i guess just bc i dont like the orig. (on the other hand their lollipop and birthday sex covers are just limp sounding 2 me)
― plax (ico), Friday, 30 April 2010 16:48 (fourteen years ago) link
what is the reason that their 2nd album is so much less acclaimed same review in p4k i think gave it like half the score?
― plax (ico), Monday, 3 May 2010 18:37 (fourteen years ago) link
also this is shockingly awesome

they are good at being "inscrutable"

what is that 5 minutes thing? from their 2nd album?
― no fear, Tuesday, 4 May 2010 08:28 (fourteen years ago) link
no its from swedish radio, like a mini mixtape i guess

well yeah, it's just weird that you posted those lyrics as if she wrote them

their schtick has grown soo tired imo, it's starting to remind me of those open-mic acoustic guitarists who take pop songs and just slow em down and sing em all heartfelt-like
― lube fiasco (diamonddave85), Friday, 3 December 2010 20:21 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah that cover reminds me of youth group music in the worst way. zzzzzzzz.

How much mileage do you think is left in this idea? I am enjoying this mixtape but I can see how it's twee feyness would irritate.
