Two months before COVID lockdowns ruined everyone's touring plans, Kiwi Jr. had high hopes for taking their new material on the road. The songs that would later become Cooler Returns — their debut with Sub Pop— were primed to hit stages across North America, but of course, that never happened. Instead, we're now getting a closer look into the making of their album with a new short film.
The Toronto group have now released a mini-documentary titled No Trace Evidence, a "candid peek into the recording studio, as well as al fresco outdoor mixing, isolation booths, temperature checks and black cats crossing their path."
Directed by Sean Egerton Foreman — who previously shot Kiwi Jr.'s videos for "Cooler Returns," "Maid Marion's Toast" and "Gimme More" — the 10-minute black-and-white short film finds the band giving each other COVID haircuts, goofing around in and out of the studio, and everything you'd expect from a band recording all summer in isolation.
Until we get to return to live music for real, get your virtual fill of Kiwi Jr. with their new documentary below.
