Pronounced “War Baby”, Wvr Bvby is an eight piece band from Melbourne. Their debut for Plug Seven records is a mesmerizing collection of high energy compositions built around meditative rhythms and a hypnotic horn section. Lead/Bassist Carl Lindeberg demonstrates strong songwriting skills on all but 2 tracks here and allows freedom for everyone to shine. “Magnetic Ruins” is filled with swaying horns and seductive rhodes playing from Phoebe Elsworth who also wrote the tune. “BSP” kicks off with engaging guitar licks from Joseph Orton followed up with breezy flute melodies from Erica Tucceri. The band’s sublime melodies steadily builds towards a dramatic orchestrated climax. The finale “And Another Thing” is a ten minute number that follows the same formula. Superb songwriting layered with strong musicianship throughout as opposed to long winded jam sessions. Overall an impressive release from yet another talented band from Melbourne that deserves your attention.
