Junior Boys... 2 Men?

Pitchfork throws a big nasty 5/5 stars to the new Junior Boys single, "In the Morning." The cut is from the forthcoming sophomore effort So This Is Goodbye, which PF hails as, "every bit as dazzling and adventurous as their debut." I can't find a release date for the single, but the JB's official site hints at June or early July.

The full length record drops in August. Here are a few words about the new disc from Mark K-Punk, who has had it since mid-February:

"So This is Goodbye is like House if it had started in the wilds of Canada rather the clubs of Chicago... The obvious difference between So This is Goodbye and its predecessor is the absence of the tricksy stop-start stutter beats on the new record... [the new album] is, however, very definitely a Pop record; if anything, it's even more seductively catchy than Last Exit."

JB's MySpace page is currently featuring a new track, "Like a Child." No word on whether this cut will be on the album. The song doesn't sound very fleshed out and the mix is definitely not mastered, so I would assume this is a leftover, possibly a future b-side. While not a great song (or even a good one), this track does give you a little bit of an idea where the JBs might be headed stylistically.
