Joji’s exhaling smoke signals into the void on Piss In The Wind, his fourth studio album gusting in February 6, 2026 via Palace Creek distributed by Virgin Music, and “Cigarette” flickers like that last drag before the rain hits—bittersweet, hazy, and gone too soon.
This opener’s a slow-burn gut-punch: Joji’s signature falsetto curling over minimalist beats—think warped guitars and reverb-drenched keys that echo like empty ashtrays at dawn. It’s alternative R&B laced with indie folk whispers, self-produced in his LA hideout with co-writes from John Durham and Isaac Sleator, channeling the futility of chasing highs that dissolve. Thematically, it’s vintage Joji ache: love as a nicotine fix, fleeting connections that burn out fast, grappling with the pull of what’s toxic yet tender. No big drops or guests here—just intimate loops that mirror the album’s wind-whipped resignation, teased in a grainy Insta clip last week where he murmured lines about “embers in the afterglow,” sparking fan theories on TikTok about lost lovers and late-night regrets.
Piss In The Wind lives up to its name—a sprawling 21-track exhale on life’s absurd loops, from pixelated heartbreaks to silhouette shadows. It kicks off with the glitchy “PIXELATED KISSES” (out since October, ft. a Yeat remix buzz), rolls through soul-searchers like “If It Only Gets Better” and “Past Won’t Leave My Bed” (both November singles with visuals that wrecked us), and stacks feats from 4batz, Don Toliver, GIVĒON, and more on cuts like “LOVE YOU LESS” and “DYKILY.” Clocking around 60 minutes, it’s got no rigid arc, just Joji’s diary-scribbled confessions on futile flights and faded dreams, recorded piecemeal post-SMITHEREENS haze—his most unfiltered since BALLADS 1, ditching polish for raw wind-tunnel honesty.
He’s at that rare crossroads glow, three years wiser since SMITHREENS’ platinum ache, fresh off sold-out NEBULA tour legs that blended tears with trap souls, and whispers of a film score side-hustle bubbling. The Filthy Frank ghost-turned-heartbreak auteur is leaning deeper into the mess—less meme, more mirror—proving he’s not just surviving the smoke; he’s the one lighting it.
