The Wombats hold a dear place in the heart of this young journalist. As a young, naive fourteenyear old music lover, the Liverpool three-piece were one of the very first moderately indie bands Ilistened to. Their debut album Tales of Love, Loss and Desperation was on high rotation on my iPodwith hits such as Let’s Dance to Joy Division, Kill the Director and Lost in the Post personal favouritesof mine and of the radio. But now I have aged and matured and begun to explore different kinds ofmusic, and it seems that so have The Wombats. Both the fans and the band members Matt ‘Murph’Murphy (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Dan Haggis (drums) and Tord Overland-Knudsen (bass) havegrown up and The Wombats have delivered a more sophisticated and mature album with a moreevolved sound.

Moreorganic versions arise because we’re sharing time or space or communication” says vocalist andguitar player Kyp Malone.
