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, which will be released March 7, 2025. Today the band shares the video for the title track for the release.
“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 and a dizzying sonic assault on the senses, that piles trademark Swervedriver guitars 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.
