Produced by Wolf Parade’s Dan Boeckner, the latest from the Toronto band accompanies manic, referential lyrics with neon-tinted, futurist power-pop.
The band wear their influences well, flitting between the melancholic indie-pop of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and the gleeful abandon of Jonathan Richman.

Kiwi Jr. have known hooks since they hit the scene in 2019 with Football Money, a rambunctious, tumbling debut full of sharp observations, humorous musings, and vivid character portraits. With every successive album—last year’s Cooler Returns and now, Chopper—the Toronto-via-Charlottetown quartet shows off increasingly sophisticated and expansive songwriting skills.

Kiwi Jr. return with album number three and take a turn away from their jangle-indie to embrace more synth-pop while retaining their slacker charm.
