Junior Boys
Big Black Coat
Boomkat Product Review:
Ever the modern lovers, Junior Boys make comfortable bedfellows of R&B, techno, footwork and synth-pop in a brilliant 5th album, their 1st in five years.
We’re very pleased to report that the supple, ductile dance-pop structures of Big Black Coat are the closest we’ve heard to the duo’s still glowing debut, Last Exit (2004). Drawing on their personal endeavours over the past few years - Greenspan with a pair of 12”s for Caribou’s Jialong label and production work for Jessy Lanza’s Pull My Hair Back; Didemus with his Diva alias - to forge a fresh yet timeless fusion of blue-eyed pop soul and proper, Black American funk much in the same way as their heroes, Scritti Politti, Prefab Sprout or 10CC, did some thirty years before.
Navigating the timeline back and forth between early, digitised ‘80s styles and current retro-futurist fixations, they turn out some real gems in the wavy jazz-funk footwork exercise of opener, You Say That, with the spare electro-step swerve of C’Mon Baby, the skeletal but plush dancehall swang of Love Is A Fire, or the creamy curves of Big Black Coat, whilst the rest pivots between varying tessellations of proto-house, synth-pop and Detroit techno, at best in the lissom, piquant glide of What You Won’t Do For Love - a cover of Bobby Caldwell original ’78 soul bomb - and the clipped electro-boogie of Baby Give Up On It.
