While Junior Boys' debut indie sleeper LAST EXIT leaned more toward pastiche--a product of influences as far afield as 2-step garage and Timbaland's stutter-funk--their sophomore effort, SO THIS IS GOODBYE, is a step toward pop song form (albeit of the slowly unfurling, epic variety). Junior Boys recast the notion of northern soul in terms of blue-eyed crooners born of icy Canadian winters, as opposed to the inner-city blues of the American rustbelt. Jeremy Greenspan's weightlessly gorgeous voice contrasts with the music's frigid, prickly synth arpeggiation--extending like icicles from aerated frozen tundra. Steeped in elegant melodies and artful textures, Junior Boys remodel new romantic pop as etherealized neo-soul.
