Piss in the Wind

Piss in the Wind is the fourth studio album by Japanese-Australian singer-songwriter Joji, released on 6 February 2026, through Palace Creek and Virgin Music Group. It is his first album release since departing from his former label 88rising. The album features guest appearances from Giveon, 4Batz, Yeat and Don Toliver.

Background and release

In October 2025, after a three year hiatus from releasing music, Joji posted a picture of a video billboard in a social media post titled "see u soon". On 14 October 2025, he released the lead single "Pixelated Kisses" alongside a music video. It is his first release under his independent label Palace Creek. On 5 November 2025, he released the album's title and release date, alongside its second single and music video, "If It Only Gets Better". He released the third single, "Past Won't Leave My Bed" on 7 November 2025. On 3 December 2025, a remix of “Pixelated Kisses” with American rapper Yeat was released. He released "Love You Less", the album's fourth single, on 2 January 2026, alongside a 360-degree visualizer. The album's fifth single, "Last of a Dying Breed", was released on 23 January, alongside a visualizer. On 9 February, a joint music video for "Last of a Dying Breed" and "Dior" was released. Two days later, on 11 February, an animated music video for "Forehead Touch the Ground" was released.

Look-alike

During the album cycle, Joji has used a look-alike, identified as model and actor Robert Birdsall, in place of himself for interviews, press releases, and music videos. On 29 December 2025, he released a video with Genius in which Birdsall, dubbed "Joe G" by fans, explained the lyrics of "Pixelated Kisses".

Critical reception

Piss in The Wind received generally favourable to positive reviews from critics. In a positive review, James Mellen of Clash called the album "potentially the most authentic Joji project to date". He described "Pixelated Kisses" as "blown out yet [retaining] a calibre of nostalgia and melancholy", and compared "Love You Less" to the music of Steve Lacy. He also highlighted a "lovely felted piano sound" on "Can't See Sh*t in the Club". However, Mellen also found that some ideas on the album felt "half-realized", as well as feeling that "Past Won't Leave My Bed" did not "cut as deep" as previous ballad-style tracks from Joji.

Commercial performance

In the United States, Piss in the Wind debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 86,000 album-equivalent units (45,000 pure album sales and 42.17 million on-demand streams).
