Today, Junior Boys aren't so much a myth as a revelation. The Canadian-based duo
have emerged with a pop statement that is easily one of best upcomig albums of
the year. So This Is Goodbye is a work that exhibits a confident mix of focus,
clarity and ambition. Junior Boys manage to tease soul and longing out of their
machines in a way that few have dared try and this pre-album salvo shows just
what makes them so special.
Both tracks are a mesh of futuristic pop romanticism and electronic funk. ôIn
The Morningö is the product of a collaboration between the band and past
tourmate, Andi Toma of Mouse On Mars, and stunning example of the band's melodic
prodigiousness. Alex Smoke's remix is a smooth and sedated reworking of the tune
that's perfect for those hazy 4AM soundtracks. Meanwhile, the calm menace of
ôThe Equalizerö is one of Jeremy Greenspan's finest vocal performances to date
and whose crooked electronic-twist hearkens back to the band's more avant side.
Friend and collaborator, Morgan Geist (Metro Area), adds his signature
electro-funk sound to his remix of "The Equalizer" that is (as always with
Morgan) decidedly club ready. As if all that isn't enough a fifth bonus track,
"So Sleep (A)", has been added to sweeten the CD package,
just-a-little-bit-more.
