The Wombats – A Guide To Love, Loss And Desperation – Pink Vinyl LP

Description

The magnificent debut album by Liverpool’s favourite trio, The Wombats. A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation is an astoundingly accomplished debut; a collection of irresistibly catchy songs, all shot through with infectious scouse wit. From the dancefloor-filling scuzz-pop of ‘Moving To New York’ to the off-kilter waltz of ‘Party In A Forest (Where’s Laura?)’, The Wombats lyrics deal in despair of the most danceable kind. Sometimes anchored firmly in melancholy (the lilting ‘Little Miss Pipedream’) and with others that have the immediacy and high-octane fun of a loveable indie romp (‘My First Wedding’), it’s clear that The Wombats have made a debut that far exceeds the weighty expectations already upon them.
