Remember this
set of Liverpudlians? Liverpooligans? City-affiliation
aside, the trio with a marsupilian name evoking a Saturday
morning cartoon are poised to make their return and ping our
musical radars once again. With their last album dating four
years back, the Wombats have definitely been on a rather
long hiatus, and there’s certainly been a change in the
meantime. Worry not, though. Still remaining are the
pop-punk, hormone-driven angsty rock aspects that they came
onto the scene with their pockets full of. Nowadays though,
they’re just a little less keen to shove all of that in our
faces. You don’t get restrain here though, it’s definitely
the maturing progression of sound you would typically expect
in a sophomore album. This Modern Glitch seems to run the
gamut and takes you through the group’s widened musical
aptitude with dark, energy-driven danceable hits and paced,
theatrical anthems. It’s dark pop - pitfalls and perils with
a smirk rather than a grimace. Mark your calendars - This
Modern Glitch is set for release April 26.
