Wonderland New Noise: NWRVR

Fresh on the scene, the band talks about their new release, throwing experimental events, and what inspires them.

08 Dec 2022

Brought together by the 17-year-old multi-instrumentalist, River Codrington, NWRVR is a tight-knit collective of friends and musicians flitting between London and Suffolk. Encompassing a range of themes, from identity to climate change – there’s no sign of NWRVR slowing down anytime soon. Fortunately for us, we had the opportunity to sit down with the band, and pick their minds about this new release, throwing experimental events, and what’s on the horizon for them.

Following an intense year of writing, recording, and touring, at long last NWRVR have made their grand debut as a full band. Comprising of two tracks, “Morse Code” and “Blood”, the singles were recorded at the legendary RAK Studios in London.

Amidst the depths of last year’s winter sprouted this gorgeous, fully-fledged release – full to the brim with intricate instrumentals and visceral vocals. To boot, the tracks feature the rich electronic textures that NWRVR is known and loved for.

Now, “Morse Code/Blood” enters into NWRVR’s burgeoning discography – building upon their previous releases, such as their debut EP “The Train is Coming, Hypochondriac”. A longtime collaborator of theirs, Liam Howe, puts his production prowess to good use across NWRVR’s roster of songs. Having worked with the likes of Lana Del Rey, Marina and the Diamonds, Adele, and FKA Twigs – NWRVR is in good hands. Moody, evocative, surreal – this new release subsumes listeners into hypnotic bliss.
