Hey Hey My My Yo Yo
According to the review from Pitchfork, this is a reference to a Neil Young song, Hey Hey My My. This is Junior Senior's sophomore effort and it keeps going where their debut left off. Quite far off from what Neil Young sounds like, Junior Senior are what appear to be a pair of goofy, gay Danes that make trashy, gimmicky dance music.
Yet when you peer below the wafer thin surface, it becomes apparent that the the duo have a good feel for a beat and melody and are just gosh darned fun. They just seem to want to make good, fun music without any pretensions, an almost childlike and naive musical utopia.
Hey Hey My My Yo Yo adds a little bit more hip-hop mixed in with all the menagerie of musical styles in Junior Senior's music. Lots of stuttering, random "yo's" and "yeahs" all over and unstoppable clapping mix in with funk, motown, soul, hip-hop, dance, disco, electronica and rock.
