NIGHT DRIVE MUSIC.....

Nobody tolerate more the eighties revival , right? More or less.
The great problem is when the emulation of sounds of the past
becomes an overdose, pasteurizing the own formula. Happily,
this is not the case of Júnior Boys, that rescues some good
moments of the eighties without appealing for the easiness. The main reference that she come to mind to the first
audition of "Only This Is Goodbye" is the tecnopop
and the synth-pop of groups as ABC, Human League,
Depeche Mode and the Flock of Seagulls and even
Eurythmics. Formed by the Canadians Jeremy Greenspan
and Johnny Dark, Júnior Boys inaugurated in disk in the idos
of 2004 with "Last Exit" a singles collection thrown previously
and they conquered the independent ways quickly.
For this second disk, the "band" counts on a sound engineer.
Matthew Didemus. substituting Johnny Dark - but maintaining
the class and the style typical of a more concerned generation
with the confluence of this everything with the music,
that with the image generated starting from these elements.
Of the opening strip, "Double Shadow" to the closing with "FM",
the one that we see is a concerned couple in sounding pop, but without
losing his electronic side synthesized for the good. This concern is
clear starting from the moment in that we divided the disk in two
different half. The first, emulating the eighties sound, and Monday
updating him and approximating him much more of the
parents of the matter Kraftwerk, transforming Júnior Boys in a
type of best of of the electronic sounds of all of the times.
Júnior Boys' synthesized sounds. that per times seem to
sound organic, such it is the cleaning and vivacity of his work.
they are enough to remember that nor only of music for the tracks
lives the electronics. He/she separates garlics of gallnuts.
A series of artists exists using the synthesizer and
mixing everything in concerned computers in using the electronics
in the music, and no the electronic music. In spite of seeming
simplistic, this reasoning makes sense, still more when
we worked daily and directly with a generation that
prefers to simplify everything and to label for the evil.
Thinking well, maybe it is always good to emulate the sounds
of the past, if it goes on behalf of the good musical education,
as they make Júnior Boys.
