If The XX had a make-out session at a Beach House the soundtrack would be provided by Sweden's JJ. I'm really feeling these guys thanks to Mr. Black, who might just have to become my regular music contributor as he is the one lacing us with some really beautiful music as of late.
JJ n° 2 was released back in July but has just found its way to heavy rotation. For your listening pleasure... I hope it inspires you as much as it has me...
These guys sound really moody. Love it!

I've heard Ecstasy on Six Music over here in the UK. I didn't know what it was until now. I'll be tracking a copy of this down.

Thanks for the heads up on these guys, Jake. I've been looking for something to balance out the more upbeat tracks I've been overplaying.
