Wombo Announce New Album "Fairy Rust", Share "Backflip" Track and Video
Today we’re thrilled to announce the new LP from Wombo!
Fairy Rust, the new album from Wombo contemplates the spaces in-between, a meeting of the physicality of the land with the fluidity of the imagination, to uncanny effect. Across twelve tracks, sharpened guitar work, distorted freakouts and downtempo musings weave together a tapestry of sound that’s both intoxicating and effortless, where one minute it’s all deadpan post-punk energy, and the next Stereolab on a mountain top. The music functions as their own localized language that feels uniquely out-of-body. Conceived over the course of the last two years, the record is steeped in its own time warp of escapism, and influenced by fairy tales like the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson that blend surreal situations with the mundane. Flirting with prog, pop and effervescent post-punk, Wombo’s forward-thinking approach set them apart as one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands right now.
New single "Backflip" is about being stuck in a loop, continuously running back into yourself," Sydney Chadwick explains. "The video ties into “Below the House” in that it is an extension of the nightmarish-dream world experience we wanted to convey."
