Junior Boys

Looking forward to their new album on June 14th. If there's anything on there as disco-tastic as "Double Shadow," "Under the Sun" or "Bits & Pieces," I'll be a very happy woman indeed.

They're playing at the Metro in Chicago on June 24th. Anyone for a meetup?

I'm looking forward to it too though I'm not very optimistic for it. Their first album, Last Exit, was amazing. The second one was not quite as good in my eyes but had some really killer tracks, especially "FM" which is probably one of the most beautiful tunes of the decade. The third album never stuck with me, though I liked "Dull to Pause" quite a bit. There was a Max Tundra/Junior Boys double bill that I really wanted to catch but ended up missing. Has anyone heard any of the new tracks yet??

There are two tracks on Pitchfork:

"Banana Ripple"

"ep"

Hmmm. Maybe a little too poppy for me (I miss the moodiness/wistfulness of some of their other tracks)...but I'm still looking forward to them live.

Well it's definitely better than the last one but Last Exit is still king
