One of 2009's greatest releases. And it's only part one of two. Fancy that.

Probably the most complete pop act in the world today, this third album consolidating the ambient and adventurous charm of its predecessors Melody AM and The Understanding.

The Quietus
This could so very easily have been the point at which Bruntland and Berge squandered their flawlessly-fought legacy, but, brilliantly, Junior is anything but the runt of Royksopp's litter.

If there are any criticisms to be made here, they probably have to do with Röyksopp's tendency to veer into over-produced tastefulness.

Sit down a few times with the music and let it percolate; there’s more to Junior than that first chuckle.

They push the tempos, pumping up previously latent synth-pop tendencies and heightening the details on their hallucinatory soundscapes.

Much of this third album gallops along in a manner that would never suit an air freshener advert.

Perhaps follow-up ‘Senior’ will feature Finnish men screaming about elk and when the two are heard together, greatness will suddenly reveal itself. But probably not.

The single ""Happy Up Here"" opens the album with a chuckle, slipping into a catchy synth-pop trifle that's soon gone. Sadly, things never regain those heights.
