"The World's a post-punk band, sure, but they're also a dance group, a wild and revolutionary art collective, sounds from the past catapulted to the future. Today your love, tomorrow The World." (Grace Ambrose, MRR)
After a first 7" 'Managerial Material', on It Takes Two / Upset the Rhythm in 2016, The World is releasing their first album, 'First World Record', affirming for a second time the unique qualities of their music. The World is also putting out their new mini LP, Reddish, which brings to mind Essential Logic, Liggers, Twelve Cubic Feet ...
The members of The World are all part of an active artistic community in Oakland, and can also be found in bands such as Rays, Andy Human & The Reptoids, Naked Roommate, and Blues Lawyer...
Microminiature is not a label per se. We wish to broaden our spectrum, provide a space for reflection, and to share and exchange creations of various shapes and sizes. We seek to weave links between people from different horizons, different backgrounds.
Bored of big, Microminiature will modestly define itself in opposition to most media, favoring that which is not adapted to the general public in order to understand the marginal, and to defend what we value in culture(s). The goal of creating communal projects is born from an ambition to gather beyond borders, to unite those with whom we share a political vision of art and music in particular.
These collaborations will be random, and will not reply on an artificial, imposed periodicity.

Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
This Baltimore group rough up post-punk with dark post-hardcore riffs and chaotic choruses, never losing a fine-tuned sense of melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2024
Restless, agitated no wave for modern times built around razor-sharp guitar and roiling percussion from Jane Doe Ensemble. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2022

Showed the live version of "notha thang" to my mom and she wasn't too happy about it. I could tell that by the way she had a vacant look on her face. BPad
