OffWorld release their new single ‘Burnt Out Star’ and debut EP ‘Brave To Be Alive’ on April 9th.

Blending rock, soul, blues and gospel, OffWorld is new musical output from Hard-FI’s Richard Archer and acclaimed musicians; Krysten Cummings, Wolsey White, Smiley Barnard and Dale Davis. The EP also features their debut single and EP title track ‘Brave To Be Alive’ – a fuzz bass hymn to the badass warrior goddess/mother and another brand new track ‘Mas Despacio’.

Speaking about the new single, Archer says “‘Burnt Out Star’ was originally written as a response to Trump, Brexit and the rise of populist nationalism that made us feel we no longer recognised the place we called home. It’s been quite disturbing to note how prescient it feels, lyrically, in light of the Covid 19 pandemic, along with it’s sister track on our EP- ‘Brave To Be Alive’, they seem to describe the times we are living through even though they couldn’t have been foreseen. Alienation, it’s cold outside. Stay smart, stay cool – we’re all Brave To Be Alive.”

Speaking about the EP release Richard goes on to say, “We’re all really proud of the music we’ve made for OffWorld and personally it’s been so cool to work with such talented musicians and awesome people. We wrote and recorded these songs in a turbulent period of our history when the belief that we were all moving forward took a hit, after reading too much science fiction we ended up projecting our worries onto a different world.” 

‘Brave To Be Alive EP’ is a taster of what’s to come from OffWorld’s debut album, which is due for release later this year. They’ve already been confirmed to support The Specials on their sold-out shows this summer and more live dates will follow over the coming months.
