After the acclaimed release of their sophomore album last year, U.K. cosmic punks WACO are back with their latest single for Venn Records (Gallows, Bob Vylan, Witch Fever, God Complex), and it’s a fun-filled, good vibes anthem.
Watch the video for “The World” below:
Displaying their knack for raw storytelling and good vibes through their early EP’s Sundown (2015) Uprise (2016), and Deathless (2017), their debut album Human Magic (2019), WACO have earned praise from numerous publications in the UK, Europe and beyond.
“The World” is the latest to be taken from WACO’s forthcoming third album set for a spring 2022 release, with further details. The track also follows on from the previous single “Elevation,” which serves as a call to action to WACO supporters both old and new to join the band’s fight over the coming months.
Last year’s Hope Rituals, the band’s second full-length album, was the first to feature bassist James Robinson, who joined the band after the tragic loss of their dear friend Chris Cowley in 2018. While much of their 2019’s Human Magic served as a method of healing for the band, the latest offering looked optimistically to the future and a hope of better days.
On the track’s release and its accompanying video, the band state:
“We all have more in common than we think. All the elements in our bodies were made long ago inside distant stars that went supernova. Separation and division is something we actively oppose in our music because we see the whole cosmos as being in it together.
When we say, ‘You mean the world to me,’ it’s not just a figure of speech. On a simple level, the song is about looking out for your mates, telling them you care, and how we can all support each other through this journey we’re on.”
