Junior Boys will release The Gore, their seventh album, on City Slang. Where its predecessor, 2022's Waiting Game, lived in near-silence, The Gore is its noisier twin — a busier, more crowded record built from the same instinct to accumulate sound rather than discard it, but let loose at last. Junior Boys’ Jeremey Greenspan has described the two albums as a matched pair, "a polarized articulation of the same thing, something about Silence, Serenity, Terror and Time, both circular and unending" — so closely bound that The Gore closes on the opening chords of Waiting Game, so the two could, in theory, be looped together into an endless day-and-night cycle.
