JUNIOR BOYS – THE GORE A Special Feature: Two Films, One Night Wavelength (Michael Snow, 1967) + The Gore: Full Album Playback with Original Visuals + Q&A Canadian electronic pop duo Junior Boys (Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus) will release their seventh album, The Gore, on 12 February 2027 via City Slang. To mark the release, they’re presenting a special evening that treats the album as cinema, staged in cinemas as a double feature. Feature One: Wavelength The evening opens with Michael Snow’s Wavelength (1967, 45 min), a landmark of experimental film by one of Canada’s most important artists. Shot in a New York loft, the film is a single slow zoom across the room toward a photograph on the far wall. As the camera moves, a rising sine tone builds on the soundtrack while fragments of human drama drift in and out of frame. It is hypnotic, eerie and unlike anything else, and it is a perfect doorway into the world of The Gore. Feature Two: The Gore Next comes a full playback of The Gore, shown with a series of original visualizers made specifically for the project. The evening closes with a Q&A with Jeremy Greenspan. About the album The Gore is Junior Boys’ most personal record. It grew out of grief over the deaths of Greenspan’s father and a close friend from his youth, and it draws on his lifelong love of experimental film, horror and science fiction. Its influences include Nigel Kneale’s Quatermass serials and The Stone Tape, Peter Weir’s Picnic at Hanging Rock, and the 2022 horror film Skinamarink, which inspired the lead single “Underneath The Moon.” That track was built from old Tascam tape loops. Elsewhere, the album weaves in Jewish prayer melodies and themes of mourning. The album is the more elaborate twin to 2022’s Waiting Game. It brings that record’s subtle, half-heard ideas into full view, and it reaches back to the haunted, nostalgic spirit of the band’s early albums, which inspired a generation of artists. Fittingly, The Gore ends on the opening chords of Waiting Game, so the two records can loop into one endless day-and-night cycle. Since emerging from the Canadian underground in the late ’90s, Junior Boys have become a fixture of electronic pop. Pitchfork called So This Is Goodbye one of the best records of its year, and The Walrus has described their work as among the most transcendent electronic music around.
