Junior Boys: Stream Begone Dull Care, MP3, Tour Dates
Junior Boys released their third album, Begone Dull Care, today. The album is said to be based on artist Normal McLaren’s 1949 animation short-film of the same name. I am a pretty big Junior Boys fan, and for the most part this album is as solid as their past two, adding more flourishes of bleeps and blips and glitchy electronics than in the previous albums.
I find that this album doesn’t create as much of a cohesive “mood” as their other albums, and a couple of the songs miss the mark a bit, but overall i think most Junior Boys fans won’t be disappointed, as it still highlights what Junior Boys do so well: down-tempo, late-night electronica. “Hazel”, is especially a standout, which could easily be a 1986 George Michael single.
Stream Begone Dull Care in it’s entirety to decide for yourself.
