Jets to Brazil’s Blake Schwarzenbach, formerly of the band Jawbreaker, is known for cornering the market on music to which you might want to slit your wrists too. But if you’re making a mixtape for your Valentine this year, you’d be remiss if you didn’t include JTB’s, “Sweet Avenue.” The opening chords imbue the listener with that weightless feeling of being head-over-heels, and the song is heavy with sensual lyrics that draw the connection between love and the rebirth of spring. Schwarzenbach illustrates how love can create a new filter with which to experience the world. Jets to Brazil was an indie rock band from Brooklyn New York, formed in 1997 until their disbandment in 2003
