WOW EP OUT AUG 23

Levity®, Levi’s® Jeans artist development label, is excited to announce its third release: the debut EP from Sydney punk-clubbers WOW. Following on from Levity’s® acclaimed releases from Cut Off Your Hands (Blue on Blue), and Mercy Arms (Kept Low) – both of which were named by Drum Media as EPs of the Year in 2007 – WOW bring you My Holiday In Space.

Taking their strobe light with them, Sydney duo WOW (Matt Cribb – vocals/electronics/guitar & Bree Carter – vocals/bass), moved their recording from the bedroom to the studio to work with renowned producer Scott Horscroft (The Presets, The Panics, The Sleepy Jackson) at his Big Jesus Burger studio in Surry Hills Sydney. Maintaining the bedlam but polishing up their bass and beats, WOW turn up their in-your-face, dirty-pop attitude and deliver a punchy debut complete with skuzzy guitar fuzz, and pimped-up laser gun fun.

WOW were chuffed with their first professional recording experience, singing the praises of Scott Horscroft, “Scott was amazing, he waved his magic wand on the songs and they transformed from bedroom demos to huge sounding club bangers and pop wonders with great choruses. It was a great experience to work with someone who totally understood the music and what we wanted to do with it.”
It’s been a busy year thus far for WOW with the release of their 7” single Common Species as well as playing gigs in Australia and overseas. My Holiday In Space EP showcases exactly what this band is about – a multifaceted mix of grinding bass maneuvers up against banging pop rhythms that bring the dance floor back to life.

Track highlights:

My Holiday In Space opener Icy Cold gets the party started with scuffed-up synths and a grinding groove punctuated with a blaring part-sung, part-yelled twin vocal bringing a catchy rough-and-tumble to the dance floor. Track three, rock-dance onslaught No Aspirations delivers Gen X ethos Gen Y style and could well become the slacker anthem of the year. While Werewolf’s ominous synth bass drives a dirty fairy tale as WOW is let loose and takes over the night!
It’s pop, it’s pissed off, and it likes to party. So hide away your breakables and only invite friends who know how to get down!

Levity® is an independent record label funded by Levi’s® Jeans. As an artist development label we help set up the careers of artists who we think can rise above the rest.
