Wurld Series Share Distant Business

Leave a comment

New Zealand outfit Wurld Series continue to mix up their sound, blending elements of fuzzy indie rock, accessible pop and a penchant for racket. This one feels like a bit more of the latter, though there’s still a core melodic bit in the vocals to serve as the gravitational glue holding the song all together. At times, it sounds like the bastard sons of Pavement, unabashedly banging out their frivolous guitar licks without a care as to how they come across to the listener. You’ve got a love a bit of that devil-may-care attitude, and with the continuous push to mix up their sound, What’s Growing is shaping up to be a mighty nice collection of tunes; it drops on March 19 via Meritorio/Osborne Again/Melted Ice Cream.

 

Wurld Series Share Supplication

Having already hyped up Wurld Series and their forthcoming What’s Growing LP, I was eager to hear what their second single was all about. We got some big fuzz on that first one, but now, they’ve completely flipped us on our heads, turning instead for the perfect pop nugget a la Tony Molina. It’s 1:43 seconds of delightful pop balladry, featuring this wonderful vocal melody and heavy strumming riding atop a synthesized organ line; something about it reminds me of Jeff Mangum in the best way, of course. I love a little pop treat, and perhaps there’s none better than something that’s so quickly consumed in order to press repeat and have it play through your speakers the rest of the day! Look for What’s Growing on March 16th via Meritorio Records.

Wurld Series Announce What’s Growing LP

Leave a comment

After hinting at a new album in 2019, Wurld Series have finally announced their new LP, What’s Growing; it’s being handled by our faves over at Osborne Again, Melted Ice Cream and Meritorio Records, so it seems fitting we’re already onboard. It’s really hard to extrapolate one finite influence; I hear modern styles in that sort of slow-core pop like Hovvdy, but it’s seemingly filtered through a 90s filter a la Pavement or Dinosaur Jr. Plus, throw in some sonic feedback squalls, and the band feels like its sort of all over the place. Suffice to say, if you like slow churning rock n’ roll, splashed with creativity and flare, then this one’s for you!
