Artist Bio:

From their Wikipedia entry, jj are a band that release music through the Gothenburg-based record label Sincerely Yours, which was founded by the Swedish pop group The Tough Alliance. The band released their debut single "jj n 1" in early 2009 and a couple of months later they released their debut album jj n 2. Both the debut single and the debut album received a Best New Music inclusion from Pitchfork Media and a rating of 8 and 8.6 respectively. On December 24, 2009 it was announced that the American record label Secretly Canadian had signed jj to their label. At the same time, the release date for jj's second full length album was slated. The album, which will be called jj n 3, will be released in the United States and Sweden on March 9, 2010. jj will work with both Sincerely Yours and Secretly Canadian, depending on the location, and has therefore not left Sincerely Yours for Secretly Canadian. jj will go on a tour in the United States with the British band The xx beginning in March 2010.[Read More]
