The Wombats, a Liverpudlian band who had peculiarly huge success in Australia and an unnaturally rabid following on Triple J, are finally on the comeback trail. They’re about to release a new single, ‘Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves) on September 27th, which will be their first release in almost three years.
Produced by Queens of the Stone Age and Lost Prophets producer Eric Valentine, the single is from their yet to be titled second album. Drummer Dan Haggis says the new album would be markedly different from the band’s debut. “We’ve approached this album slightly differently from the last,” he explained. “Whereas the first album was practically recorded live with a few overdubs, this time round we’ve had the time to really play with the sonics. Now we just can’t wait to get out there and get sweaty.”
