The Wombats release Backfire At The Disco through KIDS. A
new recording of a live favourite, the track has been
produced by Jimmy Robertson (Klaxons) and mixed by Steve
Harris (Kaiser Chiefs) û so comes with impressive
credentials. The song boasts an effervescent spirit that
makes a mockery of its subject matter û a disastrous date
û hitting the listener with razor sharp hooks, thrilling
ôwoo, hoosö and a truly infectious energy. ItÆs scuzzy
indie pop at its best that exemplifies much of what The
Wombats are about.
Bonus track Little Miss Pipedream is a more sedate
offering by comparison, showing how the Liverpool natives
are equally capable of reigning things in and coming over
all charming. The band is comprised of Matthew Murphy
(vocals, guitar, keyboard), Tord Overland Knudsen (bass,
vocals) and Dan Haggis (drums, vocals). They are certain
to make a big impression over the course of 2007 if they
continue to churn out catchy numbers such as this.
