World Party brainchild Karl Wallinger made pop/alternative masterpieces for two distinct musical decades- the 80’s with Private Revolution & Goodbye Jumbo in the 90’s.
There were lots of other fine moments of tuneful & political song-crafting in between and after, on records & not, so much so that the normally non-sentimental multi-instrumentalist culled together outtakes, covers, new songs, live performance, lost interviews and other gems for the mammoth 5-cd retrospective Arkeology (intentionally misspelled just to be cheeky).
It comes with lots of illustration and also serves as a calendar/day planner!
World Party stopped by our studios for the 2nd episode of Sunny Side Up (10/22/12).
Hear the lively chat with Karl, some new songs and a WP classic below!
