KID KAPICHI are proud to announce their new album Fearless Nature, due out on January 16, 2026, via Spinefarm. To celebrate the announcement, the band also shares the new single ‘Shoe Size,’ accompanied by a visualiser, available to view below.
Following the previously released single, ‘Stainless Steel,’ ‘Shoe Size’ sees the Hastings quartet continuing to evolve by melding swagger, vulnerability, and razor-sharp social commentary into their most self-assured work to date. Built on a tense groove and infectious refrain, the track captures the band’s signature mix of grit and melody while hinting at the bold direction of Fearless Nature.
Since coming together a decade ago in Hastings, UK, KID KAPICHI have always been more brotherhood than band; like-minded musicians bound together by the belief that music and message can happily co-exist, and that being proud of where you’re from should in no way limit your ambition or narrow your view of the world.
Fearless Nature, produced by Mike Horner and Ben Beetham alongside the band and mixed by George Perks, marks a new era for KID KAPICHI following lineup changes and a creative reinvention. The album captures a band reborn; louder, bolder, and unafraid to push their sound into uncharted territory.
On the album, Jack shares: “We began writing this album a year and a half ago. During that time, I think we all felt a lot of change on the horizon which I believe is reflected in this album.
I personally was going through some of the darkest times of my life and listening back now I hear that fear but it’s also comforting to know how quickly things can change once again for the better.
I’ve always looked outward for inspiration. The news. World affairs. What’s happening in our local communities and the feeling in the air, but this album was much more introspective and seeing your reflection as you look out the window rather than what’s on the other side.”
Jack concludes: “I consider myself lucky to have gotten to the age I was at whilst writing this, that I hadn’t experienced anything like that before. But once you do, it gives you a whole new understanding on life and what people mean when they say they’re really struggling.”
