Finn Wolfhard, the Canadian actor‑musician known for “Stranger Things,” released his sophomore solo album “Fire From The Hip” on 10 July. The 12‑track record expands on his indie‑rock roots, drawing influence from classic albums such as The Rolling Stones’ *Exile on Main St.* and *Beggars Banquet*. It was recorded on 24‑track analog tape at Pachyderm Studios in Minnesota, emphasizing live‑room energy and occasional studio “mistakes” to capture a garage‑rock feel.
The album follows his debut “Happy Birthday,” which earned over 64 million streams and led to sold‑out tours in North America and Europe. “Fire From The Hip” is promoted with a North American tour kicking off in July, featuring dates across the United States and Canada and festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Osheaga and Austin City Limits.
Wolfhard describes the project as a snapshot of his current creative stage, noting that the collaborative band dynamic and analog recording process gave the songs a raw, spontaneous character. The release is available worldwide on streaming platforms via AWAL.
