Jellyfish
WORLD NEWS PREMIERE JELLYFISH via EARMILK
In the dead of winter, World News 808909 are pleased to share a lush, summery music video for their electronic ballad, JELLYFISH.
Taken from the debut album, ON STEROIDS, the music video was filmed at a waterpark in industrial mecca Hamilton, Ontario.
You can read what EARMILK had to say here. Bill of World News talks through some of the lyrics and the thoughts they originate from.
The music video, which builds into the epic universe of World News, is the latest creative vision of Liam Magahay.
Speaking of the process, Liam mused -
“For me, the Jellyfish video was an exercise in improvisation and play; shooting solely on Go Pros was a deliberate choice to enhance these liberating conditions.”
“Basically, I wanted to hang out at the waterpark with my friends and let the video create itself in the process.”
The result is a whirlwind experience of turbulent and lush textures, underpinned by flailing limbs and joyous faces.

ON STEROIDS Arrives Worldwide – The Debut Album from World News 808909
Electronic hardware duo World News (AKA World News 808909) have released their debut album ON STEROIDS digitally worldwide today!
ON STEROIDS [SS130] is a pure electronic album that combines influences of electronica, alternative, house, techno and ambient music. It marks the 30th release from independent Toronto label, Safe Sounds.
The debut LP represents a point in time that saw World News experiment with their recording process and production, honing their craft which is grounded in improvisation. Over two years spent in the studio has resulted in a body of work that is as energetic and hypnotic as it is warm and reflective.
Inspired by the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Liars and LCD Soundsystem, ON STEROIDS is an exploration of texture. Layers of analogue synthesizers and drum machines combine with blended vocals and natural soundscapes for an electronic music that is both organic and immersive.
The single, HYPE, has arrived with a music video inspired by electro producers of the early 2000s.
You can now stream the debut album universe-wide. ON STEROIDS is also available on limited edition vinyl and CD. Both are available to purchase on the World News bandcamp.
