Instrumental electronic band ALL OF THE WORLD, after releasing their 3rd album lull in 2021, returns with a new EP within about a year. The EP includes two tracks: "Blue," a post-dubstep tune with 90s rave-style vocal samples, and "Casper," a Detroit techno-inspired cosmic track that was well-received at festivals across Japan. The EP also includes extended DJ mixes of both tracks, totaling four tracks.

SKREW KID, known for his unique "tape funkiness" blending acoustic guitars with vintage rhythm machines, is releasing his fourth album Inspirations, his first in four years, at the same time as the new ALL OF THE WORLD album.

As the title suggests, SKREW KID draws inspiration from great artists like Pavement, J Dilla, Vincent Gallo, D'Angelo, James Blake, and Sly & the Family Stone. Since moving to Fukui in 2015, he has also been inspired by the local culture and environment.

The album includes 14 tracks of Lo-Fi, Beats, Ambient, and Folktronica, featuring SKREW KID's versions of "No Guitar" and "New Era" from ALL OF THE WORLD's lull album, as well as "Uchihamono," a track sampling the sounds of blade-making at the Echizen City craft festival. Longtime friends Lullatone and jew's-ear contribute to the project, with mastering handled by Yusuke Oshima of ALL OF THE WORLD.
