Worrier w/ Invade Rome and Dear Astronaut

In another testament to Japan’s affinity for odd but awesome music, in February the Japanese label Parabolica Records released Source Errors Spells, the debut album from the Milwaukee noise-pop ensemble Worrier. With shades of Liars, Deerhoof and Les Savy Fav, it’s a spastic, compulsively danceable record, bound by twitchy percussion, prickly, creepy-crawly guitars, falsetto cries and rousing sing-along chants. The album should keep the group on the road for a good part of the year. Later this month they’ll head to Japan, before a tour this fall in Europe, where their album is being released through the Irish indie label Richter Collective.
