Recorded at Plug Seven Studios Melbourne, WVR BVBY releases their debut self titled album, in 2018.
The 8 track LP was inspired by mixture of crate digger culture and 70s production techniques and recorded in one take sessions using direct to tape technology.
The unusual 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.
With tight precision WVR BVBY creates unique cinematic sounds of roaring horns, synth arpeggiation and a rhythm section that sways from laid-back grooves to complex rhythmic interplay.
