A 60s garage guitar riff, a tapping tone, a fuzz guitar sizzle, and an affectless female voice asking the killer question: “What are you thinking?” You’re thinking about me, who’s thinking about you? » Welcome to Junior.
This minimalist rock trio has been paving their way off the beaten path for ten years now. Anna Jane writes, sings, and plays guitar and keyboards. His partner Swannie Elzinger hits the skin and pierces the choruses. Hiding behind a funny hat, multi-instrumentalist Sammy Osta (producer of the debut La Femme, Feu! Chatterton, Aliocha and many more) completes the gang, who appears to have turned on the turbo to burn the Limiñanas mid-turn.
Junior delivers the cinematic choruses and killer melodies that we wouldn’t be surprised to find, perhaps one day, on a Tarantino soundtrack. We think the garage, surf rock, and sometimes Ennio Morricone (“in the back”) front of this psychedelic/yé-yé/damaged rock is toxic enough to be addictive.
Junior: “Trois, deux, un”, on CD, LP and digital (Le Phonograph). About 8 euros to 24 euros.
Anna Jayne, Swannie El Zinger and producer Sammy Osta make up Junior.
