British indie-rock band THE WOMBATS has announced details of their third studio album. Glitterbug follows 2011’s This Modern Glitch and is set for a release on April the 6th via 14th Floor Records/ Warner Bros. Records. The record was produced by Mark Crew (BASTILLE) and is inspired by frontman Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy’s recent residency in Los Angeles.
The musician on the record’s themes in a press statement: ‘That became the main inspiration for most of the songs, this false world that I’d created for myself. As time progressed, I’d go to L.A. more and more, and the idea kept on building. The album’s about the envy and the struggle and the pretence and the worry and the fear that L.A. – and every major city in the world – encompasses.’
New music by THE WOMBATS is yet missing but we expect it to arrive soon. In the meantime check out Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves) from 2010.
