Interesting stuff! There's been a mix of stuff I've loved and stuff I've not been too keen on from their last few albums so will be interesting to see where this one lands.

Every time I hear the chorus to this I just think of 'Feel So High' by Des'ree - the melody's pretty much a note for note rip off of that! Anyone else hear it?

New album 'Oh! The Ocean' is out on February 21st :D

 

The Wombats return with their most sophisticated and sonically adventurous album yet. Oh! The Ocean (out February 21st 2025) grooves with social anxiety, internal strife and the tribulations of LA life, where Murph lives. Once again they provide escapism from the mundane with songwriting that has profound meaning to audiences in turbulent times, packaged in the band’s deceptively cuddly and playful façade.

 

Oh! The Ocean marks a new era for the band, moving away from previous synthetic sounds to embrace a warmer-blooded approach. Taking 50 new songs into a studio in Echo Park, LA, in July 2024 for six weeks of sessions with new producer John Congleton (St Vincent, Wallows, Death Cab for Cutie), The Wombats shunned the AI studio techniques that have become prevalent in modern-day recording, in order to make a far more natural and human album.

 

Alongside familiar sounds they explore new genres from glistening tech rock to sci-fi pop, futuristic fuzz rock to bluesy rock’n’roll, with touches of disco and hip-hop-inflections.

 

Tracklist:

 

1. Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want To Come

2. Can't Say No

3. Blood On The Hospital Floor

4. Kate Moss

5. Gut Punch

6. My Head Is Not My Friend

7. I Love America And She Hates Me

8. The World's Not Out To Get Me, I Am

9. Grim Reaper

10. Reality Is A Wild Ride

11. Swerve (101)

12. Lobster

It's not quite as catchy as 'Sorry I'm Late' but it's still decent. Looking forward to the album!
