"What's Growing" by Wurld Series (New Zealand) is a compact statement of intent; a collage of full-noise indie rock recordings and minimal, psychedelic, and homespun artefacts.

"What's Growing" is the second album by Wurld Series, an indie rock band from Christchurch, New Zealand.

Christchurch is a city home to a strong DIY music ethic, traceable back to the beginning of labels such as Flying Nun and Xpressway.

Wurld Series have been at the forefront of a continuation of this approach since the mid 2010's and are known locally for their skewed pop sensibility and lo-fi production aesthetic.

The songs contained in "What's Growing" are submerged within reeling guitar, hypnotic mellotron and meditative drones.

Lyrical themes include post-apocalyptic living, extraterrestrial visitation, TV game show monsters and the workplace as a dreamlike medieval dystopia.

At times traces of Tall Dwarfs or The 3Ds can be heard. More obvious American 90's indie rock influences are also evident, alongside a clear strain of unsettling, pastoral British psych folk that runs throughout the album.
