Overall Rating: 89
Although “Move Your Feet” was pretty much a lightning-in-a-bottle kind of song for the Danish duo Junior Senior, they manage to have seemed to not let it define them, as Hey Hey My Yo Yo builds upon the success of the last album, leaving it feel more than a simple rehashing of previous material. While the dirt/cutesy antics of their debut ocassionally left me feeling more annoyed than thrill, there’s little of that happening here. Instead, there’s nothing but summery, sugary goodness– the kind of thing you want to listen to on a summer roadtrip to get you and your friends dancing. The introductory “Hello” which leads into “Hip Hop a Lula” is a fantastic opener, as is the single “Can I Get Get” and the faux-Earth Wind & Fire “Itch You Can’t Scratch. With only a little while to go before autumn hits us (how sad is that), listening to Junior Senior’s latest is a great way to spend the last few days of hot fun in the summertime.
