JJ

'Death' (EP stream)

Secretive Swedes JJ only announced their Death EP a week ago, but it officially came out today (August 12) on Sincerely Yours. The entire thing is available to stream now.

JJ's synth tones are pillowy and calming on Death. The piano-tinkling "Anything" in particular is lullaby-like in its softness, while "Pills" blends folksy acoustic guitar with AutoTune croons and enveloping synth orchestrations. Still, despite the soothing sonic textures, the overall effect is a little unsettling, with the slo-mo faux-techno keyboards of "Fuck It" standing out as particularly creepy.
