Dvrkworld
EP Review: DVRKWorld’s self-titled debut EP is a delicious southern gothic blast of dark pop delight.
Fronted by Mary Shannon of Meres, Launceston band Dvrkworld deliver an icy, glacial form of shoegaze that seems intrinsically linked to the wild terrain and the weather in the southern isle at the very edge of the world.
