Description
Renowned as one of Britain’s most exciting live bands, The Wombats’ sophomore album "This Modern Glitch" is the most successful outing from the Liverpool trio to date, debuting at #3 in the U.K. and #2 in Australia, and receiving worldwide praise. Entertainment Weekly applauds their "bright, buzzy indie pop concoctions that have made audiences on both sides of the Atlantic shake and swoon," while SPIN declares them "Echo & The Bunnymen for the internet age." Similarly, The Sunday Times proclaims This Modern Glitch "a ten-song masterclass in spiky, lyrically-vivid, synth-coloured pop…nothing can detract (or distract) from this album’s infectiousness."The Wombats made their U.S. television last year on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing their Top 20 UK single, "Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves)." Their current U.S. single "Jump into the Fog" has been one of the band’s biggest airplay records in the UK and Australia, marking The Wombats sixth Top 40 single to date. In the U.S. it is currently sitting comfortably in Sirius XM’s "Alt Nation" Alt 18 Countdown having spent 4-plus weeks in the top 10.
The Wombats are "Murph" (lead guitar, lead vocals, keyboards), Dan Haggis (drums, backing vocals) and Tord Overland-Knudsen (bass, backing vocals).
