Junior Senior are yet another new group from the land of Sweden
where all music is good, and every album from there should be praised as the
next big thing (see the Hives or Soundtrack of Our Lives, International
Noise Conspiracy, Sahara Hotnights, Division of Laura Lee, you get the
idea.) The problem with listening to Junior Senior though is very much like
mixing your liquors , and if you've never done this just bare with me.
For the first hour or so, things are going great, you think you're having a good time, but you're not quite sure, so you go back for more. The second hour, you start to feel really good about everything. No worries
man! This is fantastic! Let's have another!
By the third hour, you start to wonder what you were thinking when you thought you could hold that much down without eating a substantial meal, and drinking plenty of water to go with it. And by the fourth hour you're cursing what you've been doing because now you have to puke your guts out, and you have a massive headache from the hangover. And now that you even know the consequences, you'll probably being doing it again real soon.
The reason I say this is because Junior Senior throws everything at you for 35 minutes. It's like Devo, meets Wham, meets Jackson 5, meets Mitch Ryder, meets the Ventures, meets Basement Jaxx, meets New York Dolls, meets 30 other bands. They're all great, but sometimes it's safer not to put them all in one glass. Beer before liquor, never been sicker. Those are words to live by my friend. Don't do this album too often or you'll be visiting the porcelain gods in the near future.
