In the summer of 2009, Gothenburg, Sweden's jj quietly released one of the year's most criticallyacclaimed albums.

The album jj nº 2 was the group's debut full-length (their first single was jj nº 1). Secretly Canadian is proud to join forces with Swedish label Sincerely Yours for the worldwide release of this remarkable record.

jj create R&B and balearic dub from the ghosts of lost lovers; pop as delicate as a fawn's nose across blades of frosted grass.

It is the soundtrack for friends packed into the town square's tiniest tavern, their moontanned, apple-cheeked faces glowing, their dilated pupils filled with all the meaning and meaninglessness of a magic 8-ball.

Their music is both carefree without carelessness, and self-aware without being self-conscious.

With it, they build an ice bridge arching from Gothenburg into the heart of middle America, and everywhere in between.

Secretly Canadian is proud to present the release of jj n° 2. "It's a gorgeous ode to chemically-assisted euphoria, or an effective, shimmering simulation for those who keep their intoxications on the legal side." - BEST NEWMUSIC Pitchfork "The year's best debut came from crypto-genius Swedes who sound like Enya covering LilWayne at Lilith Fair 2015." - TheWashington Post
