If you haven't heard about this album yet, you must go out and get yourself a copy. Although they've been around for a good 8 years now, this album by far is their best.
Junior, is part of a two album project which examines two different sounds. Junior, is apparently an album for the Springtime. Very happy and upbeat. The second part,
Senior, which is due out towards the end of the year, will be more moody and introspective. So, in part this could be considered a concept album, something we've seen a lot of in the past year from Franz Ferdinand's
Tonight to of Montreal's
Skeletal Lamping.
The first two songs off the album deserve much praise. Happy Up Here, which is a brilliant track by anyone's standards and The Girl and The Robot, which has Swedish singer Robyn on vocals, not that I'm a big fan of Robyn or anything. One song that is quite awful is Tricky Tricky, which features the lyric "Is six afraid of seven, because seven eight nine?" possibly one of the worst puns the world has seen this century. Though if you ignore the lyrics, the song is not that bad.
