Not Thinking Music

Less pretentious than the Scissor Sisters and without the grasp of the Electric Six, Junior Senior are a Dutch duo who keep their Disco/New Wave so light and frothy that you can taste the cream off your player. Released in 2005, but now just getting here, there 2nd album, Hey Hey My My Yo Yo, is all you need to know about what to expect at 36 minutes. After their debut, I thought they would be import only forever. You would think in the interent age, you could download any band regardless of Stateside distribution. So, I was thrilled to get this. If you want heady dance music, pass this. But, jeez, why not have a perfect party album in your collection. Tacked on to this is an 7 song EP that is more New Wave than Disco and less entertaining. Just in case you thought they were touched by genius. They're not. But dance anyway.
