Listen to Flat Worms’ New Single “Market Forces,” off Their New Album Antarctica
Photo by Owen SchmitA garage-punk band that’s not completely and utterly messy exists? Thank goodness. Flat Worms, the Los Angeles-based band made up of Will Ivy (guitar/vocals), Tim Hellman (bass) and Justin Sullivan (drums), released their new single “Market Forces” on Wednesday, the lead track off their forthcoming album Antarctica, set for release April 10 on Drag City Imprint, GOD? Records.
“I’m looking for a catapult to escape the situation,” Ivy sings in “Market Forces.” The theme of the new album is about leaving a chaotic world seemingly going down in flames, and heading somewhere where there’s no drama and no problems—somewhere like the bottom of the world, aka Antarctica.
Although they’re known as a punk-rock act, Flat Worms’ new single and collaborative sound could appeal to those who don’t even consider themselves into punk.
