Junior Boys Back at It
In the Morning - Junior Boys (mp3)
Delicious. I can just listen to that fuzzy bass note that starts off the new Junior Boys single, all day, by itself, 24/7. It’s the equivalent of the Junior Boys pouring a full bodied aural nectar into your ear. With a good pair of headphones, it will tickle your ear drums until you’re giggling on the floor in pure bliss. That’s not to say the rest of the song components are lacking. Those Junior Boys vocals are mixed louder and have a more dominating presence which is one of the improvements over the last album. The new album So this is Goodbye as the whole is much smoother to the angular beat complexities of Last Exit. The departure of their main beat maker Johnny Dark leaves the new album with simplier beats but the evolved vocal production and more abundant hooks easily make up for any setbacks in the rhythm section.
