Kiwi Jr. have previewed their upcoming album Chopper with its latest single, ‘The Extra Sees The Film’, following ‘Unspeakable Things’ and ‘Night Vision’. Give it a listen below.
“This song is quite literally a change of pace for us,” the band’s Jeremy Gaudet said in a press release. “It’s more chill and a bit darker than previous Kiwi Jr. recordings. It’s a song about whether or not you’re the hero of your own story, or a smaller part of something bigger. It’s bragging that you’re in a movie and inviting all your friends and family, but when it screens, you’re barely an extra in it. A lot of our songs deal with reckoning, this one in particular. It’s what happens after you’ve told your story and the truth comes out later, and everything unravels.”
Chopper is set for release on August 12 via Sub Pop.
