Kiwi . Jr Canada's reponse to Pavement twenty five years on are back on the siewalk and in a rich vein of form indeed on Blowin' Up their 4th album. In Pitchfork's words 'it radiates a frantic, bottom of the ninth hopefulness'. Drilling a winner into centerfield just before the lights go out. to send the crowd home jubilant.
Kiwi Jr strike me as the sort of band that enjoys wordplay and crosswords. Play as the highest form of life. These songs understand poignancy when required but also the pleasure principle that drives us forward. Glass half full three and four minute puzzles as we all spin around the sun.
Every ones' a winner baby. The song have a saminess but that's no slur. Rather the highest praise. They've swallowed a dictionary and are spitting out pearls on farfisa organ. If it was this easy everyone would be doing it. Kiwi. Jr don't come from a land down under but you should take them in and give them breakfast !!! The Kiwi Explodes !.
