I sang the praises of The Wombats a while ago, although at the time the hype kaleidoscope had me confused about whether they were up & coming or come & gone. I thought they were the latter; it turns out that they’re the former. And, judging by how frequently they seem to be popping up in my RSS reader, it seems like their debut full-length might be pretty big.
So here, have a couple of songs from them. The first is their most recent, I believe, and has a title that seems likely to intrigue at least a few of you.
And then there’s this, which I think is a better song, but isn’t quite as new:
Other hypem-worthy tracks: “Patricia the Stripper”, “Moving to New York”, “Sunday TV”.
UPDATE: Hmm. This version of “Backfire At The Disco” is the one that I find a bit grating (it’s from the CD single instead of Girls, Boys & Marsupials. I’ll try to find the good one.
