As if we hadn’t learned our lesson last year with the antics of iamamiwhoami — and the subsequent flame-out on a massive scale when songs rather than snippets actually started leaking out — here comes the snarkily named artist Just A Number 05272011 to ride in the wake of the cryptically named musicians. Although both the pair of (presumable) Swedes have similar sigh-inducing origins, Just A Number 05272011 has a leg up by storming out the gate by release three complete, creative tracks.

The first track to appear out of thin air, and my personal favorite, is the frankly titled “He Didn’t Want a Love Song” which you can view below. Although the pace battles molasses for last place in a race, you can’t help but be drawn in by the electro-metallic sounding opening clangs and fully enveloped by the time the first crash of the chorus “He didn’t want a love song / I tell you that’s for sure” hits your ears.

The second track (whose release was also accompanied by a video) is a little more forgettable as the singer’s schtick of imitating Fever Ray’s voice (or is it Fever Ray herself?!?!) gets a little grating by the second verse. Also, the induced motion sickness by the swiftly transitioning jpeg compressed images of the video certainly doesn’t help the cause.

The final track, and the sole one I could find on the blog-o-sphere via mp3, is an up-tempo discothèque track if I’ve ever heard one — which, for anyone whose read my site for a while knows, is the quickest way to get a re-listen from me. It’s a great dance duet whose male vocals sound like it’s supplied by The Knife collaborator Jonathan Johansson (just adding fuel to fire when it comes to the Fever Ray rumors).
