## Summary

Canadian electronic duo Junior Boys have announced *The Gore*, their first album in five years, due on 12 February via City Slang. The record’s songwriting draws on personal loss, family and faith, while new single ‘Underneath The Moon’ offers a contemplative introduction to its electronic sound.

The album’s origins trace back to 2017, when a close friend of Jeremy Greenspan died; later, Greenspan’s father was diagnosed with cancer. Greenspan also explored his Jewish heritage, incorporating prayer melodies and davening, a wordless, trance-like form of Jewish prayer. The 11-track record includes ‘Funny How Time Slips Away’, ‘Hineni’ and ‘Yizkor’; the ‘Underneath The Moon’ video, directed by John Smith, pays homage to the 2022 horror film *Skinamarink* and analogue tape effects.
