Almost certainly pop's first Danish gay/straight, little-and-large duo, Junior Senior have sprung from a tiny Scandinavian record label to top charts around the world. Hot on the heels of the big hit, Move Your Feet, their debut packs 13 similarly effusive tracks into 39 frenetic minutes. At least half a dozen of them are potential singles, the result of lacing retro flavours with enough pure pop hooks to make them sound simultaneously nostalgic and fresh. Move Your Feet is rooted in the Jackson 5, but everything from Wham!, buzzsaw guitars, the Sweet, chants, the Rubettes, surf music and the B-52s are thrown into their pop stew. It's very cleverly done, but with an undefinable innocence that suggests the dewy-eyed thrill of very early pop, beaches and bikinis. The duo are postmodern enough to subvert this with crafty references to sexuality ("Girls think I'm hot, I think they're not") and, despite being gloriously silly, just about steer clear of cheese.
