Wurld Series, an indie rock band from Christchurch, New Zealand, presents their second album, What's Growing. This release stays true to the city's DIY music ethos, following in the footsteps of labels like Flying Nun and Xpressway. The band creates a unique blend of skewed pop and lo-fi production, incorporating elements of reeling guitar, hypnotic mellotron, and meditative drones. With themes ranging from post-apocalyptic living to extraterrestrial visitation, TV game show monsters, and the workplace as a dreamlike medieval dystopia, the lyrics of What's Growing are captivating and thought-provoking. The album also pays homage to influences such as Tall Dwarfs, The 3Ds, and American indie rock, while featuring a distinctive strain of unsettling, pastoral British psych folk. In a compact but impactful statement, What's Growing showcases Wurld Series' full-noise indie rock recordings alongside minimal, psychedelic, and homespun artefacts.
