I once heard Stars’ Torq Campbell call the Junior Boys “bad ass.”

It made sense right away, but I could see how some might not instantly understand.

There’s something about the band’s unrepentantly sexy and melodic electronica that could easily be taken as somewhat sweet and backgroundy.

But then you keep listening, and the music teases you to focus and get lost. And with each release it just gets stronger.

And in my opinion, that is bad ass.

From their 2004 release Last Exit, this is “Birthday.”
