The World Without Us formed in Los Angeles in the early 2000s with Caleb Scofield on vocals and guitar, Ian Ross on guitar and programming, Matt McJunkins on bass and vocals, and Danny Lohner on drums. Their debut album 'Cult' came out in 2004, followed by 'House of Dust and Dreams' in 2007, their self-titled album in 2010, and 'Sorrow and Extinction' in 2015.
Their music leaned toward bleak, atmospheric industrial sounds with Scofield's vocals adding a haunted quality. Songs like 'Cult' and 'Things To Tell The Press' from their catalog dealt with themes of isolation and despair, creating an unsettling mood that didn't aim for mainstream appeal.
Their sound and approach generally kept them outside popular trends, working instead in darker, more experimental territory.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
