I may be a little late to the Jensen Sportag (facebook/twitter) party, but I would be remiss if I didn’t write them up here on the Walrus as 2012 is going to be a very, very good year for them as they bring their smooth shimmering electro-pop to the world.

With a name apparently taken from a Danish tennis player, this Austin, Texas duo are following up their delightful 2010 debut EP Pure Wet, with an album on consistently impressive Cascine and everything I’ve heard of it so far is breathtaking. They manage to take the soft jazz-influenced smoothness that you’d have found in a bar circa-1985 and make it run rivers through your mind, wash over your soul with a kaleidoscope of colours. This is love.

Today we’ve got the boys doing a remix of Madi Diaz giving anyone an excuse to glamour slide across that dancefloor…
