When Everything Starts Sounding The Same Are We Living In a World Of Mirrors?
A. A. A. F. vol. i [SS126] arrives today across the world for human and animal kind to enjoy.
The title, an abbreviation of Art As A Foundation VOLUME i, intentionally marks World News' least commercial and most sonically ambitious EP to date.
The overriding concept revolves around the focus on art NOT marketing. World News has put a frame around this work – if when you look you feel, then great, but if not, they are happy for it to simply hang on the wall for the rest of eternity.
Combining elements of techno and ambient music in a way we've never heard before, World News create a sonic landscape that melts and flows between dark corners of the imagination.
Speaking of A. A. A. F. vol. i, World News had this to say:
"THIS IS THE EP WE WANTED TO CREATE. NOBODY TOLD US IT HAD TO SOUND THIS WAY.
DOES ART HAVE TO BE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE? NO.
A. A. A. F. IS ELECTRONIC MUSIC EXPLORATION. IT WAS PAID FOR IN FULL BY WORLD NEWS. IF YOU EVER CAME TO A SHOW OR BOUGHT OUR MERCH, YOU PAID FOR IT TOO.
THE MODERN MUSIC LANDSCAPE IS BROKEN. MUSICIANS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PLAY THE GAMES OF CORPORATE BEHEMOTHS. THIS RELEASE HAS NO SINGLES, NO WATERFALL PLAN, NO BULLSHIT. IT DOESN’T FIT NICELY INTO A GENRE. IT WASN’T MANUFACTURED TO A FORMULA. IT’S NOT A CARBON COPY OR EVEN A REASONABLE FACSIMILE.
AND WHAT ELSE?
MUSIC IS ART. MUSIC IS NOT MARKETING. WE DEFY THE BLOOD SUCKING VAMPIRES, THE VULTURES AND THE PARASITES. THIS EP ISN’T FOR THEM. IT’S FOR US.
IF YOU FEEL OUR SOUNDS RUN THROUGH YOUR VEINS, AMAZING! IF NOT, WE TOTALLY GET IT. IT’S WEIRD.
SET YOUR CASSETTE DECK TO INFINITE LOOP ∞"
A. A. A. F. vol. i is designed to be played for infinite looped playback. This can be achieved digitally by setting the album to loop. It is also being released on strictly limited edition cassette.
If you want a copy, come celebrate the release of this EP with World News at The Baby G tomorrow, Saturday 30th November. It's an interstellar lineup and you can grab tickets here.
The EP was recorded and mixed by World News at, you guessed it, Safe Sounds! Stem mastered by Asher Gould-Murtagh. Go listen now on Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Bandcamp or anywhere you listen to music.

A Message for the Kids from World News
The music video for World News' A Message for the Kids is premiering now on our YouTube Channel!
The track is taken from the upcoming EP, New Era, which will be released via Safe Sounds in 2022. We can reveal that the EP was mixed/produced by Toronto musician, producer and engineer, Josh Korody (Nailbiter, Breeze). This marks the first sounds we've heard from this collaboration.
The video was filmed and edited by the creative team of Danny Alexander and Kalina Nedelcheva. It showcases the amazing props and art of Hannah J. Busse and stars a rising child actor known only as Zander.
You can catch World News live this Saturday 11th Dec at The Baby G in what will be their only show of 2021 - be warned that tickets are selling fast so to guarantee entry we highly recommend purchasing an advance ticket. You can do so here.
