Junior Boys have taken an approach to pop music that encompasses an audible encyclopedia of what's been pop in the last twenty decades, and have filtered it through a not only a post-romantic styling, but with a degree in the Morgan Geist guide to production. They even manage to one up Geist's sequency disco like a Greek philospher teaching his own mentor. "More Than Real" comes in with a gratuitous amount of sparse drum machined antics, setting the tone for this r 'n' b cum detroit styled lp. It immediately tells you this is nothing you've heard before. Not like this. It's wonderful to hear that Junior Boys were a lovesick stalker before their heart's get destroyed during "So This Is Goodbye." Another breed of tightly stitched perfection swims out of the breathy confessionalism of "Bellona." You begin to bite your lip as you realize this could be a D. Child song without that voice. This is blue-eyed future soul, if it is to categorized. Another beast all together, "High Come Down" has the syncopation equivalence to the most underground of dub-step. A nervous drummer trying to get a mosquito off his drumset interjects the soft echo of the high school single of the summer. The Boys wave this new flag, however leisurely, that their brand of pop is a chilly cavern of lust fed through a wide history of styles.
