Junior Boys — So This Is Goodbye

The first single from Junior Boys' new album, "In The Morning," is a solid piece of Kraftwerk-inspired synth pop that blends breathy beat boxing, staccato guitars and the most funked and soulful singing Jeremy Greenspan has ever shown off. Unfortunately, the musical surprises end here — at track five. This record has attitude, variety and a glowing synth cover of Sinatra's "When No One Cares." But in a time where artists are creating truly innovative electronic albums, I have a hard time bowing down to the untouchable said genius of Junior Boys. Although STIG has heart and danceable moments, it quickly becomes too familiar and you can't help but feel there are more exciting things you could be listening to.
