Pkew Pkew Pkew announce new album ‘Optimal Lifestyles’

PKEW PKEW PKEW have announced a new album!

Titled Optimal Lifestyles, the upcoming album from the Canadian punks follows 2016’s self-titled debut and is scheduled to be released in March this year.

While their 2016 self-titled debut angled more towards the minutiae of the late-20s punk life, Optimal Lifestyles catalogues and reflects on the root causes of the band’s previous fun-loving, hard-partying behaviour. Frontman Mike Warne writes songs in the same tongue as plot-driven realists like THE HOLD STEADY’s Craig Finn, who actually went to Toronto to workshop songs with the band for the record.

“Is this good or is this bad?” ponders Warne of the lifestyle his band sings about. “It’s fun to live like an idiot, but it’s probably bad, also. We’re all constantly wondering if we’ve ruined our lives forever or not, being in a band.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have launched the first single from the upcoming record; titled I Don’t Matter At All.

Optimal Lifestyles is set for release on March 1st via Big Scary Monsters (UK) and Dine Alone Records (US).
