Junior Boys
published on 15th August, 2007

There are more ways to reference house music than a collar-up pink Industrie shirt, a faux-hawk and a pinger up your bum.

Junior Boy’s second full-length So This Is Goodbye finds a similar blend of electronic and indie to say Hot Chip, or perhaps less obviously, Erlend Oye. **With cascading synths, and 90′s dance music throwbacks, So This Is Goodbye has picked apart a past that is still a bit close to home and offers up the best bits garnished with enough present-day to make it palatable. ‘In The Morning’ is the stand-out track begging/bending over for a remix, and the low-key title track ‘So This Is Goodbye’ along with ‘Count Souvenirs’ will stop anyone before they begin dancing on a podium with their shirt off.
