Back in November, Swedish band jj dropped their first post-jj nº 3 single, “Let Them”. Now comes the accompanying video, which features vocalist Elin Kastlander at the pulpit in a rural Swedish church. In other jj news, Christmas Eve saw the release of the band’s kills mixtape—which features a version of “Let Them” titled “Kill Them”—for free download from the Secretly Yours website.
