First things first: Once and for all, Junior Boys are not Junior Senior, okay? Yes, they are both duos from Northern climes who make peppy, danceable pop, but that's where the comparison ends. Junior Boys. Junior Senior. Two different groups. Don't get it twisted.

(Exhale) Now then...those who didn't need the aforementioned facts spelled out will undoubtedly be exhilarated to learn that their favorite Canadian synth-poppers will be in full effect in the coming months, both on record and onstage.  Their third album, Beyond Dull Care, is set for a March 24 release on the Domino label. In case you were wondering, the title comes from a short film by animator/composer Norman McLaren, apparently a big JB influence (don't worry, we've never heard of him either). Bringing the good news to the people, Junior Boys will set out on a North American tour, along with British act Max Tundra, starting on March 28 and wrapping up on May 10, hitting all the hotspots in the U.S. and their native Canada.
