Wombo Share "7 of Cups" from new album "Fairy Rust" out July 29th!
Today we’re thrilled to share a new track "7 of Cups" from Wombo! Stream it & watch the band's self-directed music video.
FADER called the band’s music “an intriguing art-rock elixir” and Brooklyn Vegan consigns their “jazzy chords and harmonies with noisier, skrokier riffing.” “Seven of Cups” showcases another side to the album, with a drawn out melancholic groove and dreamy reverberations that transfuse the ephemeral quality of being shaken awake from a dream. Sharpened guitar work, distorted freakouts and downtempo musings see the trio make a sonic leap forward into new and transformative places that belie the more straightforward indie rock of EP Keesh Mountain, while keeping the band’s tight instrumentation firmly in place.
The band notes: "The song is about losing time, forgetting/ being forgotten by time, and feeling trapped by time. The hourglass I found at an antique mall and it gave me the idea to have myself trapped inside a room as a clay version of myself by it. Wanted to give off Feelings of Deja Vu, epiphanies that you simultaneously forget as you have them, dreams you can’t remember even though you know they were crazy- kind of vibes. Like being stuck in limbo or just feeling constantly confused."
