Positive Transmitter & Crunch Tapes present:World News / Pink Breath of Heaven live at Neue Zukunft, Berlin
4 June 2026
Drawing on a kaleidoscope of late-’70s and ’80s influences — from post-punk and indie rock to the hazier edges of shoegaze — World News carve out a sound built on shimmering, atmospheric guitar lines and cool, magnetic melodies. Their music is moody yet immediate, nostalgic yet sharp-edged, earning them comparisons to British icons like The Smiths, The Clash, and Dire Straits. They channel the past with affection, but their voice remains strikingly their own.
2024 marked a major leap forward for the band, with the release of two acclaimed EPs, Escape and Mindsnap, a debut U.S. performance at New York’s New Colossus Festival, and recognition from Stereogum (40 Best New Artists of 2024) and The Fader (13 Artists to Watch in 2025). Their 2025 singles — “Don’t Want to Know” and “Everything Is Coming Up Roses” — hint at the sonic evolution shaping their anticipated 2026 debut LP.
With a run of summer festival appearances and a growing list of sold-out shows across the UK, World News continue their rapid ascent, establishing themselves as one of the most exciting new voices in the next wave of British guitar music.

Special guest:
Pink Breath of Heaven, the San Francisco-born duo of Liv Field and Rex John Shelverton (Tamaryn), craft a sound where shimmering shoegaze, psychedelic currents, and ghost-lit melodies converge. Their debut album Colors Make a Sound positions them firmly among the most compelling emerging acts in the modern psych/shoegaze landscape.
Listeners often describe Pink Breath of Heaven’s music as both warmly familiar and strikingly new — a fusion of nostalgia and revelation, where dreamlike textures open into unexplored terrain. After the breakout success of their single “Blue Is the Morning,” the duo spent a year refining a sonic identity that stretches from slow-burning, hypnotic pieces to colossal waves of distortion and color. The result is a body of work that lingers long after the final note dissolves.
Having shared the stage with artists such as The Dandy Warhols, LSD and the Search for God, Alison’s Halo, and Ulrika Spacek, Pink Breath of Heaven have rapidly become a defining presence within San Francisco’s evolving psych-rock underground — channeling a new era of expansive, emotionally charged sound.
