The rockÆnÆroll band had barely : :' inked their record deal when they surfed into studio, racing ': ,: against time to make the most dazzling, immediate and inventive :, : album of their young career: 39 minutes of darting and dodging : :' guitars, spiraling vocal harmonies, and the complicated, ': ,: goldenrod nostalgia of a Sunday mid-afternoon. :, : : :' This ainÆt CorridorÆs first rodeo. Junior is the bandÆs third ': ,: full-length and their third recorded with their friend, producer :, : (and occasionally roommate) Emmanuel Ethier. However 2015Æs Le : :' Voyage ╔ternel and 2017Æs Supermercado were made languorously, ': ,: their songs taking shape across whole seasons. This time Dominic :, : Berthiaume (vocals/bass), Julian Perreault (guitar), Jonathan : :' Robert (vocals/guitar/synths), and Julien Bakvis (drums) ': ,: permitted themselves no such indulgence. The band were committed :, : to releasing an album every two years, and for Junior it : :' required a blitz. ôIf you want to release something this fall, ': ,: we need the masters by the 10th of May,ö the label had warned :, : them. Winter was already in its last throes: on March 1, : :' Corridor went into studio; in mid-April, Corridor came out. ': ,: They had somehow created Junior and it was, if we may be so :, : bold, spectacular. : :' ': ,: Singers, two guitars, bass, drums: the timelessness of the setup :, : underpins the timelessness of the sound, a rockÆnÆroll borrowing : :' from each of the past six decadesùpunk and pop, psych and ': ,: jangle, daydream and swoon. This is music thatÆs muscular, :, : exciting and full of love, its riffs a kind of medicine. Whereas : :' CorridorÆs past work could sometimes seem overstuffed, twenty ': ,: ideas to the same song, the new work is hypnotic, distilled. :, : ôPart of the beauty of the thing is that we didnÆt have time to : :' think about it,ö says Berthiaume. Six of JuniorÆs 10 tracks ': ,: were conceived during a single weekend. The words to ôBangö were :, : written on the eve of the sessions, as Robert began to panic: : :' ôJe payerai t⌠t ou tard,ö he sings: IÆll pay, sooner or later. ': ,: Fewer jams, fewer overdubsùno fortnight in the countryside, :, : secluding themselves in a chalet. Even the artwork came in the : :' nick of time: in spite of other, meticulous, masterpieces, ': ,: RobertÆs ôshitty last-minute collageö (of an egg saying hello) :, : was the one his bandmates went for. : :' ': ,: That might be CorridorÆs best trickùtheir mixture of seriousness :, : and whimsy. Songs like ôMiscroscopieö and the standout ôDominoö : :' are purposeful, full of songcraft, even as they let loose, slip ': ,: their collar. ôTopographeôæs all call and answer, like rival :, : Cupids shooting arrows at each other across a ravine. ôPowö and : :' ôGoldieö are like hurtling racecars, or teams of horses, ': ,: accelerating towards a memory. And JuniorÆs title trackùby turns :, : twitchy and anthemicùis in fact a tribute to Perreault, their : :' ôjoueur Θtoile,ö star player: in spite of his disappointed ': ,: parents (ôparents dΘτusö), heÆs CorridorÆs VIP. JuniorÆs ten :, : tracks are filled with tributes like this, impressionistic : :' portraits of characters in the band-membersÆ lives. Their tone ': ,: is affectionate, the meaning hazyùeven if you speak French. :, : : :' Sub Pop have never before, in their 33-year history, signed a ': ,: Francophone act. Maybe the bandÆs magic springs from their :, : ingenious hooks, their topaz-tinted vision. Maybe itÆs the : :' panache of QuΘbecÆs insurgent underground scene, or the ': ,: camaraderie of Robert and Berthiaume, who have played together :, : since they were 14. Maybe itÆs their nameùa hallway crossed with : :' a toreador. Probably itÆs all of these, and none of them: ': ,: Junior is a joy, a hasty miracle, because itÆs so much damn fun :, : to listen to. This album is 39 minutes; each day has 24 hours; : :' you can listen 36 times before tomorrow.
