Webb Chapel has shared new single “Springtime,” the lead single is off the Philadelphia band’s forthcoming LP World Cup. The track explores themes of life, death, and rebirth. Rachel Gordon, vocalist and bassist, reflects on the song’s creation: “When Zack [Claxton] sent over his home recorded demo, it was already called ‘Springtime,’ which sparked a theme of life and renewal in my mind. My experiences as a grave gardener at Woodlands cemetery further shaped the lyrics, imagining the life of Mary Brown through her garden. The lyrics are basically me trying to imagine this lady as a whole person with multiple roles in her life, while trying to tend to her garden and hoping she’s happy with it.”the band will release World Cup September 6th via Strange Mono Records.

Formed in 2021 Strange Mono is a charity record label and distro based in Philadelphia, PA. Specializing in limited edition releases, all the proceeds from tapes, and 100% of downloads, go directly to the artists choice of benefit. Webb Chapel has picked the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) which is a rescue organization / no kill shelter in Philly.

World Cup marks Webb Chapel’s evolution from a solo project to a collaborative band effort. Recorded and mixed over six days with engineer Dan Angel, the album captures the band’s dynamic energy and creative instincts. Primary guitarist and songwriter Zack Claxton comments on the recording process: “The studio environment pushed us to rework and refine our songs, revealing new dimensions and creative possibilities.”
