About the artist

Gothic rock
Shoegaze

World Coda is a London-based band known for their self-described "abject-gaze" sound, which blends elements of gothic rock, shoegaze, and post-metal aesthetics, creating elegant, dystopian soundscapes filled with agony, angst, and melancholy. The band's lineup includes Yao Li on guitar, vocals, and arrangements, Jin as a visual artist and game designer, and Dan and Jamie handling technical engineering for recordings and live performances. Their musical philosophy is deeply rooted in concepts like Julia Kristeva's work on abjection and semiotics, which also inspires their lyrics. World Coda's latest endeavor includes the release of their debut EP, "Before Eclipse I", which serves as an introduction to their unique "abject-gaze" style. Recent interviews from June and July 2024 have seen the band members discussing their creative process and the philosophical underpinnings of their music. The band's name, "World Coda," evokes a sense of "the world's final performance," aiming to provide a soundtrack for significant endings, whether global or personal.
