It’s been a while since we’ve heard from synth-soul duo Junior Boys. While Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus have kept busy working on solo material and running record labels, the pair haven’t released anything together since 2011’s It’s All True.

Until today. The duo announced their fifth LP, Big Black Coat, and have shared the title track, a simmering dance track that refuses to boil over into all-out ecstasy. You can give a listen below, and check out Big Black Coat‘s artwork and track list.

Greenspan and Didemus will be hitting the road in March to support the album; those dates are below as well.
