Juniore announce first album in four years, Trois, Deux, Un
Juniore have announced their third studio album – and album in four years – Trois, Deux, Un, alongside new single, "Méditerranée".
Taking three and half years to write, the band were “greatly” affected by the forced isolation of the pandemic, and how the family-bonds they had built through years of living in each other’s pockets on the road were totally severed across those long months. Having to adapt, for instance, of living, writing, and recording apart, within this topsy-turvy world, the band took the title for their new album by reversing the counting process of its predecessor Un, Deux, Trois; Juniore here are self-consciously negotiating their musical space, with all its’ foundational parts intact, but yet flipped totally turned upside down.
“The one thing we've probably allowed ourselves to do is to write more joyful music”, Anna Jean admits. “We feel it's a bit like we've travelled to the other side of the mirror, and we're trying to set the clock backwards in a sense with Trois Deux Un or maybe just preparing ourselves for take off. The new songs couldn't be as comedic and dark as the previous ones wanted to be. They had to be lighter because the world had enough real heaviness."
Trois, Deux, Un is set for release on 13 September via Le Phonographe, and is available to pre-order now.
