albums of the decade - 74. Junior Boys - So This Is Goodbye


74. Junior Boys - So This Is Goodbye (2006)

The album title here really resonates, as you have to say goodbye to so many people throughout life on so many levels. The level that I was at, when I crossed this road, was the whole process of meeting someone, possibly through travelling, and not knowing whether you're going to see them again. I studied for a year abroad in Miami and after the first semester, it was hard to say those farewells and again another time as the academic year was up. 'So This Is Goodbye' and it's spellbinding, reflective and grown-up electronic pop was released during this time and it fits perfectly into my jigsaw of experience as an era-defining record that I love.
