Described rather astutely as "The Laurel and Hardy of Danish electro pop," Junior Senior's "D-D-Don't Stop the Beat" is the coolest thing to come out of Denmark since Lego. Already huge in Scandinavia, the JS sound (think the Cramps, the B-52's, and Wham! in some gloriously incongruous pile-up) can't fail to paint a smile on the hardest of cynic's face. Fittingly their debut is full of perversely mad pop songs, referenced to the hilt and none too complex in production; for sheer goofy charm and jump-around madness, it's hard to beat. "Chicks and Dicks," an ode to misguided sexual attention, rocks along to 60s beach guitar and surfin' harmonies, while "Move Your Feet" is the sound of Fatboy Slim body-popping to "Club Tropicana." At turns clever, irreverent, and maddeningly catchy, this is a record from Denmark that other countries will want to listen to. --Paul Tierney

hes jr, hes sr
the other day i gave in and picked up a copy of junior senior's d-d-don't stop the beat. while my indie rock cred filled head screamed, "no!" the devil on my shoulder (dressed in mc hammer pants and a trucker hat) said "get it!" so, as usual, i went with the shoulder boy's opinion and got it.
so happy i did.
the album not only makes you shake your ass from the dance aspect, but at heart it's a soulful rock album as well. it's garage-y at times and electronic at others, but always maintains its sense of earthiness and analog vibe. "move your feet," undoubtedly the best track and the album's obvious single ( i just picture them walking into the record company and signing right away ) makes you wanna jump out of your room and head to the nearest club.
"chicks and d*icks" is a hilarious countersexual song which showcases the affiliation of the two (junior and senior) and the rest of album is rollicking and fun, too.
get the chip off your shoulder and get this cd.
Holy crap.
I found this CD while browsing around at Barnes & Noble. The colorful artwork caught my eye initially, and I was in a strange mood, so I bought it without even knowing or thinking about what it was. (Technically it was in the "Pop/Rock" section, but that could mean, well, anything.) As soon as I got in the car, I popped it in. I was extremely pleased. I'm a big fan of the dancy/electronic/funk/hip-hop thing, and this is a fantastic blend of all those things and more. These songs will get stuck in your head. They will make you tap your feet. Whether dance music is your hobby or your guiltiest pleasure, this is an album you can't miss.
Shake Your Boogie
The Swedish duo named Junior Senior has come up with the most irrelevant CD of our time, but incidentally, at under 40 minutes, D-D-Don't Stop The Beat also ranks as one of 2003's best.
With a knack for silly lyrics and strong danceable beats, the duo has created a solid album which mixes rock, dance, retro pop and electro beats into a sublime concoction with even a faint tinge of western.
But any way they sing, dance or rave, this CD is just full of fun and makes you wanna get on your feet.
