The team of Milkie Way and Sam Matlock continue to thrive in their indie era as the duo roar back with the second single on the year, "Small World Syndrome". Following the launch of the band's independent charge launched earlier this year in which the tandem delivered the rousing track, "Vigilantes," WARGASM UK have doubled down with the delivery of new cut that confronts the idea that the world seems to be shrinking in character.
The band offer their take on the driving force behind "Small World Syndrome," “They replaced sulphur street lamps with day glow bulbs, they changed the packaging on cigarettes – do you ever feel like there’s a bit less magic in the world? You wake up one day and the venues, the cafes, the cinemas you loved have been shut down. The things that make the world special are bulldozed by greed and homogenisation. Reality gets smaller by the day. Maybe the world’s not smaller - there’s just less in it. This is a little song about that. Your feelings are better out than in.”
Coupled with a fitting new visual directed by Wargasm's own Milkie Way along with Haris Nukem, the clip frames a reality where lobotomies are common and all too convenient given a world simplicity and stupidity seem to go hand in hand. Commenting on the video and how it actually ties into our real world, the quick wit of Wargasm manages to shine through, "The video is a Wargasm x (Haris) Nukem Production, shot in a bizarre world where backstreet lobotomies are the norm and deceivingly hench old ladies loiter on park benches to attack unsuspecting ASBO’s. Oh, and Milkie is running for Leader. You gotta be honest with us - somehow it still doesn’t seem as surreal as the mindfuck world we all actually inhabit…"
The latest single from Wargasm leads into the band's upcoming European arena tour supporting Electric Callboy and Bury Tomorrow. The run begins this November and breaks before resuming again in January to kick off the new year. In addition, Wargasm UK have just confirmed a special headlining set in London at the immersive Outernet in London, bringing along special guests Tropic Gold and Filthy Pig.
