junior boys - last exit (kin)

maybe you've seen junior boys on this year's mutek? they're canadian trio with 3 releases till now, all on kin records. the previous 2 were eps and now here's their first full-length. some of the tracks from the eps are included here and that's good, because some of them, like 'under the sun' and 'high come down' are amazing tracks, and i don't own their first ep so it's good to find 'birthday' and 'last exit' here too. junior boys' music is minimalistic and electro influenced, not as fischerspooner, more like pole's production, very stripped down. it's very filtered music, what's left is the essence of melodies, beats, pop, vocals, electro. that's present in different ways in the tracks, mostly very laid-back and easy-going, sometimes more up-beat, but even their most danceable tracks are still kinda slow, extremely relaxed, which sounds really great. the music is very pure and clean in it's dirty shadowy ways. you can dance to it like dancing on spiritualized lazy tracks. 'last exit' is a great release with a very nice selection and careful combination of the finest minimal synth-pop. i gotta hear that fennesz remix sometime.
