BLOWIN' UP

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 up to meet our wheels. Wintering at Detroit's HIGH BIAS
Studios, our veteran "Juniors" take stock & make rock, punching the clock with
Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck) behind the board & Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, Silver Jews)
fine-tuning the mix. Assembling a local posse for urgent tactical support, Kiwi recruit
Detroit's real Big Three - Protomartyr, Stef Chura, Fred Thomas - and beam in additional moonlighters
