Junior Boys are a Canadian indie electronic pop group formed in 1999 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada as a duo of Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark. Soon after, Dark left the band to pursue other interests. Hooking up with his engineer, Matt Didemus, Greenspan began again, writing more material and pulling an album together.
Their first release, “Birthday/Last Exit” came in October 2003 as four-track EP with a remix by Fennesz. “The High Come Down” EP followed in February 2004 with a Manitoba (now Caribou) remix and word began to spread.
Their debut album, “Last Exit,” was released in September 2004 on KIN Records. A reissue on Domino featured the Manitoba mix of “Birthday,” a Fennesz mix of title track, and a new track.
In 2006 Junior Boys reappeared with new releases. A remix of “The Loving Sounds of Static” by Mobius Band was released on the Ghostly International “Idol Tryouts 2”compilation in March 2006. “Max,” a new original song, was released on the Paper Bag Records compilation “See You on the Moon!” that same month. Their second full-length album, “So This Is Goodbye,” was released in August 2006 on Domino Records.
Their remix EP, “The Dead Horse EP,” was released in April 2007containing remixes of tracks from “So This Is Goodbye.” Almost a year after its initial release, “So This Is Goodbye,” was re-released as a bonus edition including the original album, and remixes from the singles and the live tracks.
In April 2008 a single on the German Get Physical label was released titled “No Kinda Man,” with mixes by Jona and Chloé. The original mix had just been featured on the same label's “Body Language Six” compilation released in March.
In September 2008, Morgan Geist's new album, “Double Night Time,” was released with five songs featuring Jeremy Greenspan.
In 2009, Junior Boys released their third full length album “Begone Dull Care.” The title and content of the new album was stated to be inspired by the Canadian animator Norman McLaren. A single from the album, “Hazel,” was released on Domino Recording Company in April 2009.
