MP3s: That New jj Single Is Pretty Good, Download It

At this point, you're either a fan of jj's hip-hop referencing schtick or not, though it's hard to hate on breezy Swedish electro-pop, especially in the summertime.

The duo released a new single out of nowhere last month and its A-side, "No One Can Touch Us Tonight," holds up pretty well to the rest of the band's chill discography.

Radio Dept. Release New Single, Get Political on Us

I really dig the Radio Dept.'s latest effort, Clinging to a Scheme. The Swedes and their Pet Sounds-by-way-of-The Smiths sound produces some of the best indie-pop these hip ears have heard all year, without getting too sugary or twee.

With their new LP just five months old, the trio has dropped a fresh, unrelated single, "The New Improved Hypocrisy." Bonus: it's political. The track is a critique of the Swedish government, who are holding elections this Sunday.
