As well as recording and producing the record in their usual stomping grounds of Hamilton, Ontario and Berlin, It's All True is informed by Jeremy Greenspan's extended visit to Shanghai, China where he began to write and record the album. For example on a track like the album opener "Itchy Fingers" the exotic middle eight features local musicians Greenspan recorded during his sojourn. As well as informing the sonics of the record, Shanghai had an influence visually as well, the image included with this story being a detail of the album's cover, a deceptively abstract image taken by Jeremy Greenspan's sister of the UK Pavilion in Shanghai.
From the word "go," It's All True has a spring in its step as opening track "Itchy Fingers" features lofty bpms in a range never explored on record by the group before. And just as suddenly, the band shift gears to the sparse, brooding "Playtime". From the confident stomp of "You'll Improve Me" and the sophisticated pop of "A Truly Happy Ending" to the epic album closer of "Banana Ripple," It's All True is by far the Junior Boys most accomplished album to date.

It's All True is the name of the bold new album from Junior Boys, which we're very excited to announce will be released on 14th June around the world (save the UK where it will be released on 20th June). As well as this we can also tell you that there will be a single release preceding the album, the epic 9-minute album track "Banana Ripple" which will come with remixes by The Field and legendary disco mixer Tom Moulton and will be released on 12" and digitally.
