Tag archive for "Junior Boys"
The man that goes by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (T-E-E-D) is back with an original. “Dream On” is an entrancing piece with a Junior Boys meets Hot Chip vibe to it. The driving rhythm plays ying to the floating melody’s yang creating a restless dreamlike feel. Head HERE to download the song for free.
As we previously REPORTED, Junior Boys are set to release their new album It’s All True June 14th (UK release June 20th). The first single is called “Banana Ripple” and, as their label Domino says, “in its 9+ minutes of dance hit glory, Junior Boys bask in a multitude of cultural, geographic, and gastronomic touchstones: namely Orson Welles, Howard Hughes, China, in particular Shanghai, Japan (the band, not the country) Banana Ripple ice cream, Carl Craig and analogue synths.” The duo is also setting out on a bit of a North American tour, see after the jump.
It’s All True is the title of the newly announced album by electronic duo Junior Boys and “ep” is our first taste. In typical Junior Boys fashion “ep” features woozy synths, emotive lyrics, and a lot of restraint. The song feels forever on the verge of breaking out just to quickly collapse in on itself giving it a roller-coaster feel. The cover art (above) is a picture of the UK Pavilion in Shanghai. It’s All True is due out June 14th, via Domino, in the US and 20th in the UK. Listen below and go HERE to download “ep”.
