There are more ways to reference house music than a collar-up pink Industrie shirt, a faux-hawk and a pinger up your bum.

Junior Boy's second full-length So This Is Goodbye finds a similar blend of electronic and indie to say Hot Chip, or perhaps less obviously, Erlend Oye.

With cascading synths, and 90's dance music throwbacks, So This Is Goodbye has picked apart a past that is still a bit close to home and offers up the best bits garnished with enough present-day to make it palatable. ‘In The Morning' is the stand-out track begging/bending over for a remix, and the low-key title track ‘So This Is Goodbye' along with ‘Count Souvenirs' will stop anyone before they begin dancing on a podium with their shirt off.
