Gore

Junior Boys will release The Gore, their seventh album, on City Slang. Where its predecessor, 2022's Waiting Game, lived in near-silence, The Gore is its noisier twin a busier, more crowded record built from the same instinct to accumulate sound rather than discard it, but let loose at last. Junior Boys' Jeremey Greenspan has described the two albums as a matched pair, "a polarized articulation of the same thing, something about Silence, Serenity, Terror and Time, both circular and unending" so closely bound that The Gore closes on the opening chords of Waiting Game, so the two could, in theory, be looped together into an endless day-and-night cycle.
