Synth pop act from Canada, formed in 1999. Originally a duo comprising Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark. Johnny Dark had already left the outfit when record labels started showing interest in early demo material previously sent by the band. Jeremy Greenspan started to work with sound engineer Matt Didemus on new material which led to the reconfigured duo's debut release in October 2003.

Junior Boys formed in Hamilton, Ontario over a decade ago and were instrumental in shaping the sound of modern electronic pop music prevalent today, with their with their illustrious trademark production, that fuses their love for R&amp;B, techno and pop music. Since their last record in 2011, Jeremy Greenspan has been busy co-writing and producing Jessy Lanza's critically acclaimed album 'Pull My Hair Back', releasing solo 12"s on Caribou/Daphni's Jiaolong record label and mixing/mastering various other artists (including Caribou), all from the confines of his small studio in Hamilton, Ontario. While Matt Didemus has been exploring the outer limits of dance music in techno-capital Berlin through this label Obsession Recordings. 'Big Black Coat' is a rich, direct, synth-pop record that introduces a new side to Junior Boys. It finds their signature sound counterbalanced by a new minimal approach. The second half of the album embraces a boiled down simplicity, incorporating elements of industrial and dubstep, reminiscent of long nights on the dance floor. 'Big Black Coat' will be released on City Slang worldwide.
