74R Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I saw that a pre-order went up on Secretly Canadian for a band I had never heard of. It had no description which I thought was weird so I checked them out. Turns out I like 'em and the promo video is really cool looking so I thought I would post this here. Anyway, a new LP is coming out by them on limited clear vinyl. Their Swedish label(here) has it for sale and it says the clear vinyl is limited. Insound has a white version that is 2 bucks more than the SC site's here. It's $17.99 on the SC site here. And HERE is the promo video for the album: And HERE is the first single released: And HERE is where this post ends-------->. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 It's been a while since I've listened to this band, but I recall JJ N° 2 and JJ N° 3 being very chill, enjoyable listens. Will have to consider this one. [edit] Got around to listening to the new track you've posted above. So good. I'm thinking I'll order this out of good faith. eskimosnow27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntslash Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Why did they switch to capital letters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I'm not sure, but it seems like it's throwing a lot of people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I really enjoyed jj nº 2, but skipped 3 and 4 for some reason. I'm digging the new single though, so I'll probably get this in due time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74R Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Ya. I was trying to figure out what else they've released. Discogs was a bad idea. They're JJ #15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Never got into jj nº 2 but definitely enjoyed jj nº 3. New track is fucking amazing. Looking forward to hearing the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 This thread made me realize I never checked out jj nº 4, which [apparently] was just a 2-track EP released in 2012. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I was super bored by nº 3, but I'm willing to give this a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Never picked up anything besides No2; I do wish Kills had been pressed to vinyl though. I could see checking this out for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I LOVE this band. I have everything they've put out digitally. jj•2 was my favorite, closely followed by KILLS (which should totally be pressed on vinyl). I feel jj•3 was a little bit of a letdown, but that's probably due to the fact that I adore the second one so much. All that said, I am pre-ordering this now. Thanks for posting OP, I probably would have never realized it was coming out... there is rarely any solid news/information on this band.

kindaill Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I liked 2, can't believe they're up to 5 already lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Um, so I got a shipping confirmation for this... but the album supposedly doesn't come out until mid-August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Um, so I got a shipping confirmation for this... but the album supposedly doesn't come out until mid-August. Are you positive it was for this album, and not a different SC order? I pre-ordered it as well but I haven't received anything... yet.

Derek™ Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well. That's mighty interesting. You'll have to keep us posted. I'm very eager to see what you receive, if anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74R Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 I didn't get a shipping confirmation but they sent me my "promotional download" code. Says it's not available until 08/05/14 when I try to use it. What a tease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 maybe they just printed your shipping label and auto-emailed you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Well. That's mighty interesting. You'll have to keep us posted. I'm very eager to see what you receive, if anything at all. Good theory... but according the USPS tracking the package originated in Bloomington (SC location) and is now in a sort facilitating in Des Moines. So, there is apparently a package coming my way. Really strange, considering the album doesn't come out until August and no one else in this thread has received shipping info. Either way, I'll keep you guys posted. I hope it gets here by Friday as I'm going to be gone for a week starting on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Well. That's mighty interesting. You'll have to keep us posted. I'm very eager to see what you receive, if anything at all. Just got a package from SC Distribution, and it was a vinyl copy of Moonface's 'Julia with Blue Jeans On.' Considering that I've never even heard of Moonface before opening the package, I certainly didn't order that record. I e-mailed SC asking if they want me to send it back. Kinda bummed, was really excited about getting the new JJ early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 So this spontaneously showed up today. No shipping notification or anything. I think the album is head and shoulders above anything else JJ has done, personally. Pretty minimal packaging, but no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
