Album Review

Junior Senior's second album is a dour, measured affair that pits subdued instrumentation against introspective lyrics and restrained vocals. Now, you didn't believe that, did you? As with their debut, Hey Hey My My Yo Yo is a Technicolor blaze of maximalist glory packed with over-the-top vocals, nonsense lyrics, woozy performances and dancefloor ready summer jams. And handclaps, you can't forget those. Jeppe "Senior" Laursen's production leaves no room for subtly which is fine because Jesper "Junior" Mortensen's vocals have none. He's a classic shouter firmly rooted in the Fred Schneider tradition (which makes the Cindy Wilson/Kate Pierson sung "Take My Time" seem just right) and while the album relies as much on the guest vocals (from all three members of Le Tigre, Anna Køster and amazingly, Motown girl group the Velvelettes) as it does his, his exuberant sensibility fills the proceedings with unhinged joy. On the songs he doesn't lead, you can picture him shaking his stuff with a huge grin on his face as the tapes roll. The record is filled with songs that should be hits; "Can I Get, Get, Get" (with Le Tigre's J.D. on vocals) is a disco ball floor filler, "We R the Handclaps" is the Jackson 5 on helium, "I Like Music (W.O.S.B.") is wonderfully hooky, space age Northern soul. Really you could pick any song on the album for that list of highlights; the record is that strong. There are few bands on the scene in 2007 that are filled with such light-hearted love of music and life without even a slight trace of irony or fakery. Their heavenly mix of mix of giddy silliness, pop smarts and pop culture overload makes Hey Hey My My Yo Yo a fun-filled joyride from beginning to end.

Customer Reviews

this one is good,

but the version for 14.99 with another 8 or so songs on it is even better. for reals.

Junior Senior's back!

Fans of Junior Senior will not be dissapointed. The follow up to their feet-moving debut brings a bit more electronic beats that reminds me of Michael Jackson on his best day. This album has been a long time coming and has been well worth the wait. People I've met over the years have often asked what it is that I see in this music and my reply is simple... "If you have an ounce of soul, how can you NOT love Junior Senior?"

Good, but largely redundant

Sure, it's a GREAT sound! But it's the same song over and over. Buy the tracks you really like, leave the album be, less you are looking for an album's worth of pure hipster disco ambiance- then get get get to know Junior Senior a little better!

Biography

Formed: 1995 in Jutland, Denmark

Genre: Dance

Years Active: '90s, '00s

An energetic blend of rock, hip-hop, and dance-pop made Junior Senior a U.K. darling in the early 2000s, but the duo's collective heart remained ensconced in Jutland — the band's homeland in the western peninsula of Denmark. Seeds for the group's formation were first planted in 1995, following the dual departures of Jesper "Junior" Mortensen and Jeppe "Senior" Laursen from the Copenhagen-based indie band Ludo-X. Three years later, Junior Senior took shape and inked a deal with the Danish label...
