Junior Boys are back in town

Thanks to the Domino Recording Co. compilation They'll Have To Catch Us First, I am glad to bring you what I believe is the first taster for the upcoming album by Junior Boys, So This Is Goodbye, out August 14th. Following the death of KIN Records founder Nick Kilroy, who had single-handedly discovered and promoted them (even though they had never met), Jeremy Greenspan and Matthew Didemus set to the task of recording the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Last Exit. You can read about the new record in depth here (first single to be released in the spring will be called "In The Morning"), and you can listen to the JBs' comeback below, including a brand new track, a remix they just did, a recent track from a kids comp, and an unreleased remix of them. Gone are the skittering rhythms, but is the magic still there?

• Junior Boys "Like A Child" So This Is Goodbye, 2006
• Mobius Band "The Loving Sounds Of Static (Junior Boys Remix)" Idol Tryouts Two, 2006
• Junior Boys "Max" See You On The Moon!, 2006
• Junior Boys "Bellona (The MFA Remix)" 2005

In other JBs news, from the Environ website: "May brings the first new Morgan Geist 12" since 2002: "Most of All" featuring Jeremy Greenspan of Junior Boys!" Sweet!
