Kill (music), J (vocals)
There is Scandinavian pop and there is Scandinavian pop. Kill J dont sound much like, for example, Icona Pop. There are few entreaties to crash a car or burn someones possessions on this Danish duos debut track, Phoenix. Its not so much brash and in-your-face as heavenly, haunting, with the relaxed essence of a psalm or even balm. You could imagine it soundtracking an advert for a fragrant emollient, or something you put in a bath to make bubbles and soothe the skin. Which is probably a strange thing to say about a song that was, say Kill J, born out of a poetic longing for something simple, primal, dirty and pleasurable and that is "about the cyclical nature of pleasure and pain.
