Editorial Reviews

This is the duo's third album, and the title is a reference to a short film by Norman McLaren, the pioneering Oscar-winning animator and electronic composer, who was fond of direct film animation (the technique of physically manipulating or painting on film frame by frame) and stop-start animation. His meticulousness is much like the band's process of composing and sequencing their music. There's a measured restraint that's rarely employed in modern pop music and it's the precision and restraint in the arrangements that serves to magnify what is there. And what is there is exceptional.

Love the Junior Boys- just can't get enough. Needless to say, I was pleased to hear about this new album! No disappointments, except for maybe the limited number of tracks. That's OK- if greats like Metallica can get away with 8 tracks per album, I'll let these guys get away with it, too.

The point, though, is this: if you're already a fan of the Junior Boys' ethereal sound, sultry lyrics, fantastically listenable blend of electro-pop, dance, down-tempo, etc., then I have no doubt this will become another hit in your book. You just can't go wrong.

If you're not familiar- check this album out! You'll be glad you did. You'll be listening to it all the way through time and time again.

Electronic but smooth, Begone Dull Care has its own unique niche in my playlists. A soft, calm voice with carefully applied instrumentals and sounds.
