It’s been a while since we’ve heard new music from Junior Boys, but they’re back with a new album and a new single! “Waiting Game” is the title of their new album, which will be released on October 28, 2022. The first single from the album is called “Night Walk”, and it’s definitely a soulful track that showcases the Canadian sound that Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus are known for. This album is definitely worth waiting for!
After six years, Canadian musicians Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus are releasing an album that is “definitely” Canadian. “Waiting Game” was co-written and produced by Didemus. Caribou collaborator Colin Fisher on saxophone, as well as Bonjay frontwoman Alanna Stuart, who sings on “Yes II,” make appearances as well.
Listen to Junior Boys’ newest single, “Night Walk”!
The first single is “Night Walk,” which depicts a person who has vanished and does not want to be found. “She’s wanted during the day and can only navigate at night because she’s wanted during the day. The daytime itself is an invasion of privacy, according to Greenspan, who adds, “At night, the metropolis serves as a disguise.”
Mike Jerome used footage from “Night Walk” a slow television program by Michael Spivak and edited it to create the following video. The original film was shot in 1986 near Toronto’s Yorkdale subway station.
Who are the Junior Boys?
The Junior Boys are a Canadian electronic music duo from Hamilton, Ontario, consisting of Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus. They have released five studio albums: Last Exit (2004), So This Is Goodbye (2006), Begone Dull Care (2009), It’s All True (2011) and Big Black Coat (2016). Their sixth album, Waiting Game, is set to be released on October 28, 2022.
