Album Review

Taking its title and inspiration from a collaboration between animator/filmmaker Norman McLaren and jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, Begone Dull Care is, at once, the most upbeat and subtle album from Junior Boys yet. At first, these songs seem to lack distinction from one another, but the duo's painstaking attention to detail and nuance — traits they recognized in McLaren's work — gradually glints through, however briefly. Other than the hypnotic "Work" and the playfully geeky "Hazel," the set is punchless, more a pleasant mood album fit for casual background listening, lacking the unnerved tension that runs through the majority of Last Exit and So This Is Goodbye. The most daring aspect of the album is the title, in particular its second word.

Customer Reviews

Love it

This album is a must if you are a true Junior Boys fan, it is a bit more mellow than the other albums but in all it is really catchy, it has a good 80's feel. One comment said there weren't any lyrics, maybe she should buy the album before making comments, if you listen to the 30 seconds preview you barely hear any lyrics but there are in every song. Very good electro beats.

Another excellent album!

This album is beautiful, catchy, and original. These guys are masters at synth-pop. Have a listen to Bits and Pieces to hear for yourself.

Décevant-deception

Junoir boys s'est surpassé avec l'album So this is goodbye. Begone Dull Care n'est certainement pas à la hauteur de mes espérances. Les chansons sont fades et sans grand intérêt. J'aurais espéré tellement mieux pour le follow up de " This is goodbye", dommage.
