"Perhaps the most beautifully deep new release I've heard this year"
Jeremy Sole (KCRW / Worldwide FM - Los Angeles)
"Very talented new Melbourne group that blew my mind when I saw them doing their thing live! Highly recommended!"
Danilo Plessow (Motor City Dum Ensemble)
"Good music usually makes itself feel familiar whilst still exciting, new and fresh. Melbourne's WVR BVBY certainly prove this through these 8 sumptuous pieces of music, cementing their place firmly into the landscape of one of the worlds most innovative music cities today."
Miles Cleret (Soundway)
WVR BVBY is the next link in the chain to the Melbourne
soulful sound that has been developing strongly over the past
decade. They create cinematic sounds through roaring horns,
synth arpeggiation and a rhythm section that sways from
meditative grooves to dramatic, complex rhythmic interplay
with tight precision.
Recorded at Fitzroy’s Plug Seven Studios, The 8 track LP was
inspired by mixture of crate digger culture and 70s production
techniques, recorded in one take sessions using direct
to tape technology.
The name WVR BVBY (pronounced WAR BABY) has a special
connection to the leader of the 8 piece ensemble,
Carl Lindeberg who plays bass. The story goes that Lindeberg's
parents first met and fell in love in the war torn Middle East
during the Gulf War, and the result of that union was
Lindeberg himself.
The album is the sophomore release of independent label
Plug Seven Records, run by Plug Seven Records store and
studio owner, Ari Roze.
