records of 2011. 26. Junior Boys - It's All True

26. JUNIOR BOYS - IT'S ALL TRUE

They drop album number four and the pressure is off because the media has come to expect sophsticated sophisto-pop from this Canadian duo. If you're not familiar, the acts name is apt because they employ a wholesome and cultivated take on pop music. It makes me want to wear a really nice coat because the sound is still quite wintry.

The great thing about the Junior Boys is that each album holds up really well. Only one or two tracks of theirs have truly blown my mind - "FM" and "In The Morning" are two of my favourite pop songs of all time - but still all four LP's are really concentrated instead of being watered down with piss like most pop music.

And. And, it's hardly drivetime. It's suave and confident without being too cocksure. With each album the production sounds even more iridescent, maybe because of technology improving since their 2004 debut "Last Exit" but that's not for me to say. What I do say is let's have another 6 of these beauties and then we can say the Junior Boys will have released 10 great albums.

LOLZ! LMFAO!
