More about: The Wombats

The Wombats have unveiled their latest single ‘Everything I Love Is Going To Die’, ahead of their latest album, Fix Yourself, Not The World, due out next year.

‘Everything I Love Is Going To Die’, is a much-needed shot of summer-tinged indie-pop. Seamlessly combining their trademark sound with a fresh electro-pop sound.

Speaking of the track, frontman Matthew Murphy said: “The song is about the impermanence of life, and with that in mind, the beauty of each passing second. Key line for me is 'Icarus Was My Best Friend, So I'm Gonna Make Him Proud In The End', which I guess is a playful take on living life to its fullest even though the consequences of that might be dire.

“Certainly not a call to Nihilism however, but perhaps a call to being present and the joy that can be found in appreciating each moment we find ourselves in.”

The release comes ahead of The Wombats biggest UK tour to date which kicks off in April next year and includes a night at London’s O2 Arena.
