Kiwi Jr. - Blowin' Up

Released 14th August 2026

SK says: "A fourth LP from the SK approved Canadian alt-rock outfit, following a brace of albums for Sub Pop. Guitars that split the difference between majestic jangle and Strokesy interplay, farfisa organ stabs (and guest keyboards from Alvvays's Kerri Maclellan) and pounding drums underscore frontman Jeremy Gaudet's (think Canuck Stephen Malkmus) offbeat musings (Malkmusings?). It also features appearances from Joe Casey and Greg Ahee of Protomartyr and En Attendant Ana's Margaux Bouchaudon."

Tired of Throwin' Up & Growin' Up, Kiwi Jr. are finally Blowin' Up.

Confronting the desperate neon of a guitar group approaching statesmen status on their fourth album, Kiwi screech sideways to make the last exit to Michigan, laying down 10 drivetime highlights daydreaming of a sweet spot between swift pain & lucrative settlement, trudging daylight through clerical quicksand & watching the tides rise
