Name: Junior Boys
Genre: Electronic
Day: Sunday

Wikipedia sez: “Junior Boys are a Canadian indie electronic pop group. Originally a duo, Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark created a sound that would reconcile their influences. Years of collaboration followed and the resulting demo was duly sent out, but after a heap of rejections and near misses, they were resigned to being bedroom beat constructors. After Johnny left the band to pursue other interests, there didn’t seem much point in continuing. That was until KIN heard their demo at the end of 2002 and commissioned more work from the remaining member. Hooking up with his engineer, Matt Didemus, Jeremy began again, writing more material and pulling an album together.”

Bops and beeps describe Junior Boys electronic sound. Similar to Royskopp or Ladytron the duo make synthesizer based tunes without the special something that those two groups have. It’s like they got some random music from a Game Boy emulator, ran it through a few filters in Adobe Audition and then tweaked it a little more so no-one can tell what they did. That and they seem to use the exact same beep sample in all of their sogns, which in my opinion is the sign of someone stuck in their ways.
