Following the recent reissue of Swervedriver’s celebrated 99th Dream, along with last year’s essential outtakes/demos package Doremi Faso Latido, the band is thrilled to announce that they have partnered up with Outer Battery Records once again for the release of their brand-new EP, The World’s Fair.
“We haven’t really done an EP since our days with Creation,” explains guitarist/vocalist, Adam Franklin. “I have no idea why it was the done thing back then, but it was a cool way to present your music with no sort of commitment to direction. You could just go off on one on any song if you wanted, and that’s what we wanted to do again here. I’ve always consumed music via singles anyway and was always partial to a good B-side or three.”
Finding Swervedriver back at their inimitable best The World’s Fair EP offers up a clutch of original songs for the first time since the release of 2018’s Future Ruins. No hard-sell, no grand concepts, just pure joyous rock as showcased on new single ‘Volume Control’, which leads the charge with a dizzying sonic assault on the senses, piling trademark Swervedriver guitar play atop of lush psychedelic overtones.
Recorded by the band with help from TJ Doherty, Ride’s Mark Gardener, and Rick Beato, The World’s Fair EP will also feature contributions from musicians like Will Foster, Calina de la Mare and Sarah Willson, and can be pre-ordered now via Outer Battery Records ahead of its official release on 7th March 2025.
