Toronto’s Kiwi Jr. are getting set to release their sophomore LP in 2021 on the band’s own label Kiwi Club and worldwide via Sub Pop. Ahead of that release is “Undecided Voters”, Kiwi Jr.’s darkly comic new single and official video, which is available today.
Shot live on location at a candidates debate between two horse jockeys in a church basement, the “Undecided Voters” video plays with the absurdity of elections as sport and entertainment. Kiwi Jr. provides the soundtrack to the sordid affair, while local news reporters stalk the perimeter trying to piece together the scene inside.
Kiwi Jr. has this to offer on the single: "We all know UNDECIDED VOTERS: democracy's driftwood, the third planks in the flotsam that purple the pie chart, always on sight and never a part of the scene. Placing imminent demise neatly to one side, KIWI JR. concentrate on the real Issues: the terrible alliance between King Crab and the timezones; 3D printing causing mass sculptor redundancies; and the playlist at the Duane Reade. After all, who is it we're really voting for: Spartacus or the dead?”

PAST PRAISE FOR KIWI JR.
"Delightful as fuck” - NOW
"Naive enough to be charming” - Exclaim!
"With easy hooks, surprise structural twists, and a gift for non-sequiturs, the Canadian quartet’s debut is a vivid portrait of the big-city struggle...Gaudet has such a witty way with one-liners, and the band is so effervescent in their execution, that it’s easy to overlook the elevated level of craft at work." - Pitchfork
“With a vim and focus that recalls early Strokes… tautly tuneful jangle channels the Modern Lovers, the Cars and Pavement with hooks that dig in deep and stay there.” ★★★★- MOJO
"Each [song] is filled to the rafters with deliriously catchy riffs. [It's] one of those rare albums that gets better the more you play it as all those wonderful throw-away lines get lodged in your head until the next one knocks it out.... There is something about Kiwi Jr. that is hard to ignore. They sound like a mixture of all the best bits of R.E.M., The Kinks, The Strokes, The Modern Lovers, Pavement and Lou Reed..." [8/10] - CLASH
"A sweet sunshine hit of melody-forward songwriting..." - PASTE
