The Wombats have announced they’ll release a new album early next year.
‘Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life’ is due on 9th February via Kobalt Music Recordings, preceded by the single ‘Lemon To A Knife Fight’.
“I wanted to make an album that had more swagger, was a bit more laid back, something that wasn’t punching you in the face every time you listen to it,” says Murph. “On every level, musically and interpersonally, we’re much closer.
“The last album was about me meeting someone and my life going upside down in Los Angeles, partying too hard and getting myself in trouble. This album is about me battling against that, trying to live an adult life. And failing.”
The band – who recently announced a US tour with Pixies and Weezer – will soon announce a UK tour for early 2018, too.
