For almost three decades, people have been playing Karl Wallinger’s songs when they’ve got married, had a child, or else endured some dark, bewildering break-up or loss, hoping his music can lead them back to the light.
Karl Wallinger (who is for all intents and purposes World Party) had a good excuse – he suffered an aneurysm a decade a ago and for a while couldn’t speak.
After a five year recovery Wallenger resurrected World Party in 2006 to perform at South by Southwest in Austin and the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee and then proceeded to catch up on his interrupted career.
