Day 20 of our 31 Days of May New Zealand Music Month marathon comes from Christchurch lo-fi fuzz pop specialists Wurld Series and the opening track of their “Air Goofy” album. Here’s “Second Hit”
“Second Hit” is a good introduction to the Christchurch band if you haven’t discovered them before. A blast of fuzzy guitars with a bit of tremolo and a lot of 3Ds style wild guitar shredding solos, all recorded on a 4-track cassette portastudio is mostly what we associate with Wurld Series. However the album also unfolds with unexpected twists and turns into more experimental psychedelic pop and odd sound-collage pieces.
As an added Wurld Series bonus, here they are caught live on Lo and Behold.
As an extra added bonus, here’s their recent Live-To-Air session on Dunedin’s Radio One:
