The Canadian-based duo has emerged with a pop statement that's easily one of the best albums of the year. It's a work that exhibits a confident mix of focus, clarity, and ambition. From the upbeat single, "In The Morning" to the somber triptych that closes the record, which touches such kindred spirits as Sylvian, Ferry, and Sinatra, Junior Boys manage to tease soul and longing out of their machines in a way that few have dared to try.

This EP gathers a dizzying array of talents from the world of electronic music to bring their own personal touch to the music of Junior Boys: Carl Craig's contribution is a subtle and brooding epic, Hot Chip's is a dreamy organic take, Tensnake shifts gears from minimalist house to four-on-the-floor electric dreams, Kode 9 offers a deep space futurist dub, and Marsen Jules applies a ghostliness that's equal parts Eno and Fennesz.
