So the other night I was hanging out with Mark and he mentioned how much he **hearted** Canada's own indie pop favorites Junior Boys. Pitchfork just recently named their new album, So This Is Goodbye, Best New Music (Friggin' 9.0 rating) Blogs everywhere are falling in love with them, and short of a Clell Tickle-inspired stage shoutout this band seems to be well on their way. I downloaded "In The Morning" and must say it is a fantastic track which deserves a good listen.

Junior Boys will be touring the UK this October with Hot Chip.
