Junior Boys
Begone Dull Care
Domino, 2009
Grade: B-

Sigh.
It just seemed so damn unlikely that the Canadian synth duo known as Junior Boys would be able to follow up 2006’s genius and critically acclaimed sophomore album So This Is Goodbye with anything remotely close to its subtleties and visionary electro-funk perfection. This is a shitty way to begin a review of a new album, I know. I just want to get it out there that I in no way whatsoever expected the Junior Boys’ follow up to So This Is Goodbye to be anywhere near as good.
Which is why Begone Dull Care is a perfectly satisfying album; I had low expectations from the get go. It’s everything I knew it would be. READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE
