  "account": "Junior Boys, consisting of Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus, have returned with their latest album, The Gore. The album explores themes of grief and nostalgia, incorporating elements of horror cinema. It is set to drop on February 12, 2027, through City Slang. The album kicks off with the lysergic techno hit \"Underneath the Moon\" and features a video directed by John Smith, who skillfully uses old tape loop techniques to capture the essence of analog recording tech, paying homage to the film Skinamarink. Greenspan explained that The Gore is a reflection on loss, specifically his father's and a dear friend's passing, and serves as a twin to the band's previous album, Waiting Game, which delves into a similar emotional spectrum of Silence, Serenity, Terror, and Time. While there are no tour dates announced yet, fans can expect the album to be played back early next year in Brooklyn, Seattle, and Toronto, starting with screenings of the experimental film Wavelength and concluding with a Q&A session with Greenspan. The Gore comprises 11 tracks, including standout singles like \"Funny How Time Slips Away,\" \"Night Service,\" \"The Tabernacle,\" \"Hineni,\" \"Underneath the Moon,\" \"Holding Back Secrets,\" \"Ligeia,\" \"Kill Baby Kill,\" \"Yizkor,\" \"The Gore,\" and the closing track \"Randman Blues.\"",
