Canadian electropop group Junior Boys have released the first single off of their forthcoming album It's All True. This 9-minute dance hit epic is called “Banana Ripple” and purports to bask in a “multitude of cultural, geographic, and gastronomic touchstones”, including but not limited to Orson Welles, China, analogue synths, and the eponymous flavor of ice cream. “Banana Ripple” will be released May 31st on a 12″ backed with a remix by The Field.
