  "account": "The Canadian electronic pop duo Junior Boys, consisting of Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus, are set to release their new album The Gore in February. This follow-up to their 2022 album Waiting Game was influenced by a period of grief and loss after the deaths of Greenspan's father and a close friend. The album, described by Greenspan as a polarized articulation of the same thing, is characterized by a noisier, messier sound compared to the duo's previous work.\n\nGreenspan explained that The Gore was inspired by the 2022 horror film Skinamarink, drawing from old tape loop techniques using an old Tascam tape machine to create the desired effects. The lead single from the album, \"Underneath The Moon,\" showcases this distinctive sonic style. The album's tracklist includes songs such as \"Funny How Time Slips Away,\" \"Night Service,\" \"The Tabernacle,\" \"Hineni,\" \"Underneath The Moon,\" \"Holding Back Secrets,\" \"Ligeia,\" \"Kill Baby Kill,\" \"Yizkor,\" \"The Gore,\" and \"Randman Blues.\"\n\nIn anticipation of the album's release, Junior Boys will host several events, including a screening of Michael Snow's experimental film Wavelength, a full playback of The Gore accompanied by original visualizers, and a Q&A session with Greenspan. These events will take place in Brooklyn, NY, Seattle, WA, and Toronto, ON, between January 27 and February 3. The Gore is set to be released on February 12 via City Slang, pre-orders for which are now available.",
