Junior Boys

Junior Boys are two Canadians who make delicate electronic pop that all but melts with emotion. Their beats are rickety and slim, big on small-scale drama and art-gesture splices, and their vocals measure in as alternately passionate and wan. (The duo tends to scale bigger as DJs—this is dance music, after all.) It’s All True, Junior Boys’ follow-up to 2009’s lushly textured Begone Dull Care, is out now and mingles the duo’s dreamy beats with contributions from musicians from Shanghai, China, where head Junior Boy Jeremy Greenspan wrote and recorded most of the album.
