growing up junior - luther (dallas,tx)
So, yeah, you know Junior Boys is the crazy good shit. Since the release of thier debut 2006 album So This is Goodbye the establishment of their superiority in the indie / electronic / dance-dance-revolution has been more than established, so now they are taking it on the road to show the world. Preceding their freshly announced European and North American tour, they have also released an amazing video for their new single Like a Child. Their first single from that album made my top ten tracks of 06' list, and this tune is no slouch iether. The video lends a visual quality to the music that only helps to solidify the soft, dreamy nature of this song with the authenticity of live footage and the aesthetic wonder of hand made stop motion effects.
Sadly the tour will not be coming through big Tex, so I guess us locals can head south of the border to Monterey if we want to see these cats live. Check out this video, though, and catch them on tour in your neighborhood / hood if you are lucky enough for them to swing through.
Here is the song and the video, I also found these three other great videos while I was looking for the Junior Boys video, awesome!:

Those boys can do no wrong. I really wish they spelled it 'Boyz' or 'Boeez', though.
