Wombo Announce New EP, Share Title Track "Slab"
Last year, Louisville Kentucky based trio, Wombo released their beloved album, Fairy Rust that received praise from the FADER calling the record “a trove of dreams and secrets,” Paste complimenting “the thumping bass line and Chadwick’s gauzy vocals,” and more. Today, the band announce their four track EP, Slab, featuring Wombo’s signature sharpened guitar work, distorted freakouts and downtempo musings, out June 9 via Fire Talk Records. Along with the EP announce, Wombo shares their lead single and title track paired with a trippy, dreamscape music video that was directed, edited & filmed by all the band members, Sydney Chadwick, Cameron Lowe & Joel Taylor. Watch here.
Cameron Lowe says: “The lyrics were drawn up as soon as we wrote the song, while staring at the concrete walls in Joel’s basement. The video imagines what would happen if we literally removed the basement wall and instead opened it to a stream of random scenes and ideas like a pharmacy, a replica of Sydney’s house and front porch, the imaginary bedroom, and a journal entry of Sydney’s about a dream she had.”
Following recent support slots for The Breeders, Dehd and Deeper in the US, Wombo will be touring the UK and Europe for the first time ever this May. Kicking off at London’s MOTH Club on Friday 12 May, the band will also play sets at The Great Escape and Dot to Dot Festival, as well as headline shows across Manchester, Paris, Leeds, Glasgow and more.
