Our Take

The Wombats are back with their sophomore effort, "This Modern Glitch," and let me tell you, it is a damn good time. From the infectious hooks to the clever lyrics, this album is a whirlwind of indie pop perfection.

Lead singer Matthew Murphy's distinctive vocals command attention, effortlessly gliding over the upbeat instrumentation provided by Dan Haggis and Tord Øverland Knudsen. Tracks like "Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)" and "Jump Into the Fog" showcase the band's knack for crafting anthemic, sing-along choruses that will have you dancing in no time.

But don't be fooled by the catchy melodies and upbeat tempo - there's a darker, more introspective side to this album as well. Songs like "Anti-D" and "Techno Fan" delve into themes of heartbreak and disillusionment, adding depth to the overall experience.

Overall, "This Modern Glitch" is a stellar follow-up to The Wombats' debut album. It's fun, quirky, and undeniably British - just like the band themselves. So grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let yourself get lost in the infectious energy of The Wombats. You won't regret it.

About the artist

The Wombats

Artists have been known to search far and wide for that elusive spark of creativity, that indefinable something that sets them apart from the rest. For indie rock trio WOMBATS, that spark seems to have been found somewhere at the intersection of infectious hooks, irreverent lyricism, and a healthy dose of British charm. Hailing from Liverpool, WOMBATS have been tearing up stages and airwaves since the mid-2000s, earning a reputation for their raucous live shows and knack for penning earworm anthems. Frontman Matthew Murphy's distinctive vocals are as likely to induce a sing-along as they are a pogoing frenzy, while the band's tight-knit rhythm section keeps things moving with irrepressible energy. Their debut album, "A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation", was released in 2007 to critical acclaim, with tracks like "Let's Dance to Joy Division" showcasing the band's knack for blending infectious melodies with wry lyricism. Subsequent albums like "This Modern Glitch" and "Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life" have only cemented their status as purveyors of indie rock excellence. But don't let their cheeky moniker fool you - WOMBATS are more than just cuddly marsupials with a penchant for music. With a sound that's equal parts dance floor filler and emotional gut-punch, WOMBATS continue to defy easy categorisation, drawing influences from artists as diverse as Talking Heads and The Cure. Whether you're looking for a soundtrack to a night out on the town or a cathartic break-up anthem, WOMBATS have got you covered. So grab a pint, lads and lasses, and get ready to dance your cares away with one of Britain's most beloved indie acts.
