More about: The Wombats

The Wombats are back today with a list of announcements for their fans. They will release their fifth studio album, Fix Yourself, Not The World via AWAL 7 January 2022. With the announcement comes the brand-new single ‘If You Ever Leave, I’m Coming With You’.  The band also shared that they will be setting out on an arena tour next April.

Following on the tone set by ‘Method To The Madness’, the new track is a lovely cut of cathartic indie with infectious energy. Venturing further into electro-pop than their earlier albums, these songs are made for big stages. ‘If You Ever Leave, I’m Coming With You’ explores the stress that lockdown put on relationships:

“I noticed that 2020 and 2021 put some serious strain on interpersonal relationships,” says frontman Murph. “It felt like people around me were really struggling. For me, 'If You Ever Leave, I'm Coming With You’ taps into all of that and asks the question… is it the circumstances putting undue stress on people? Or have the circumstances shed light on people's incompatibility with one another?” 

Drummer Dan Haggis adds: “We’re so excited for people to hear this new album! We’ve explored new genres and pushed ourselves further than ever musically. It will always stand out for us in our memories from our other albums as we recorded it across three cities during lockdown, and we weren’t all in the same room at the same time!”
