Junior Boys – Waiting Game

Canadian duo Junior Boys release their sixth album, Waiting Game, on City Slang. It has been six years since their previous album, 2016's Big Black Coat.

Waiting Game finds producers Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus in a tender and contemplative mood; a switch-up from their punchy, R&B-infused dance melodics.

The album's additonal musicians are Canadians, too; Caribou collaborator Colin Fisher performs saxophone throughout and Bonjay frontwoman Alanna Stuart sings alongside Greenspan on the song "Yes II."

In this, Junior Boys have made an album that reflects the quiet beauty of the world, so long as you're prepared to truly listen.
