Begone Dull Care

by Junior Boys

Drawing its title and inspiration from the work of Canadian experimental animator Norman McLaren, the third album by the electronic duo leans heavily into slick, 1980s R&B and boogie influences. The production is incredibly pristine, balancing analog synthesizer basslines with Jeremy Greenspan's breathy, detached vocal melodies. It represents the smoothest, most dancefloor-adjacent entry in their catalog of melancholic synth-pop.
