Junior Boys are so original, inventive, and poetic that they go far beyond electronic music into a much dreamier world full of infinite possibility.
Elsewhere It's All True matches up to the Junior Boys best work in most other aspects while seeing them alter the formula enough to keep things fresh.
Nothing’s going to jump out at you, but over time you might be a little surprised when you catch a distant background melody playing on one side of your headphones.
It's got the same low-key mixtape-from-a-lover charm as Last Exit, but sacrifices none of the appealing slickness of their last few albums.
The better material here ranks among the band’s very best.
It's All True, although slightly patchy, has a generous handful of these moments of inspiration.
