Christmas Came Early
I got a great single in the post last week, which i've been playing a great deal since. It reminds me of the one I got from Rosemary a couple of months back in that it's a band with a terrible name but a fantastic two-tracks single.
These lot are called The Wombats, and come from Liverpool.
This is their second single, after 'Lost in the Post', and shows they have the remarkable scouse knack for a melody. Yeah it's not the most original thing i've ever heard, but it's a great burst of indie pop, and should result in a few spilt drinks (and lost jumpers) down at the indie disco.
There's not a lot else to say except that, well, it's not a bad idea is it!
THE WOMBATS - MOVING TO NEW YORK
The b-side is also excellent - a tale of being at a rave when you'd rather be at home with your girlfriend. I probably would have posted that instead, except I think the song deserves a better chorus than 'Laura. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh'.
The single is out on October 23rd on 7" only. There are only 500 copies so you'd best be quick.
