London Post-Punk band World News has announced their debut album, In Purgatory and share the latest preview of the album, “The Way It Goes.” The song introduces a retro-indie feel that’s typical of the album as a whole.

Vocalist Alex Evans shares:

‘The way it goes’ was mostly written and demo’d back in 2020. The lyrics don’t possess too much of a story, but are more phrases, thoughts and collections of words of how I was feeling at the time. The album has a few songs on it similar to this that were written a few years ago, whilst some of the other tracks were written more recently, and in some cases weeks/days before hitting the studio. We’re all very excited to share the album with everyone.

In Purgatory was recorded at RAK Studios in central London with producer Tommy Bosustow (mary in the junkyard, Porridge Radio) and will be released on October 16, 2026.

This October, in support of In Purgatory, World News are heading out on their biggest headlining UK/EU tour yet.
