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.”
