Release Notes:
--------
Formed four years ago at Liverpool's Institute of Performing Arts - essentially
the northern version of Croydon's Brits school, and also the place that gave us
Sandi Thom - the Wombats have an irrefutable yet charming pop edge. Their debut
album may not be breaking any new ground in the world of rock'n'roll, but the
three-piece don't half know their way around a catchy melody. Opening with the
barbershop-based Tales of Girls, Boys and Marsupials, their jaunty, yearning
tunes take in everything from hating rom-coms, namely Bridget Jones (Kill the
Director) and escaping across the ocean (Moving to New York), issues all seemly
stemming from woman trouble, a problem made even clearer in the aching Patrica
the Stripper. Elsewhere, the lovelorn likes of Little Miss Pipedream bring to
mind 1990s twee indie also-rans Hefner, as singer Matthew Murphy yelps his way
through the hapless lyrics like it's an entry in his secret diary. Heartbreak
never sounded like so much fun.
