A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation

Product Information

The Wombats trio boast a genuinely accessible sound while keeping their album fresh and modern. There are no worn out stories of drunken romances, lyrics to cringe over or generic ‘up-beat’ melodies. Instead, enjoy fluffy tales of youthful innocence and discovery, delivered via a power pop punch of sing-a-long choruses and jittery guitar tunes.

To support the album the band toured extensively across the world. They also performed "Greek Tragedy" on Late Night with Seth Meyers. After being revealed as headliners of Australian festival Groovin' the Moo for 2017, Murphy announced that work was underway for a fourth Wombats album, with a release scheduled for the end of that Summer. However, the album was not released before this deadline. [10] Instead, the band announced they would tour to celebrate the decade anniversary of their debut album. [11]To celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of their fabled debut album, The Wombats proudly present… A guide to Love, Loss & Desperation, originally released on the 5th of November 2007. Home to in-die dancefloor staples such as ‘Moving To New York’, ‘Let’s Dance To Joy Division’ and ‘Kill The Di-rector’ the album has sold over 400,000 copies in the UK, been streamed more than 457 million times and is BPI certified platinum. The album will be available on vinyl for the first time pressed on special edition pink vinyl, alongside two art prints. Let’s be honest, how could an album that contains Let’s Dance To Joy Division possibly fail? It just can’t, can it? Singles like this come along about once every five years, if not once a decade. This one song alone would have ensured The Wombats a glowing review.

Hear The Wombats' new single, new album details revealed". Australian Broadcasting Corporation . Retrieved 13 July 2014. The album, like their live set, is shot through with fun, infectious wit and a desire to create perfect pop while not taking themselves too seriously. You have to hope this level of accomplishment has to be something you’re born with but if it was instilled into them at Macca’s Liverpool School of Performing Arts, where Matthew Murphy, Dan Haggis and Tord Overland Knudsen met, their teachers deserve a lifetime achievement award from every music awards committee going. Which is quite a lot, these days. The summer of 2008 saw the band perform live at a number of major festivals including Glastonbury Festival in June and T in the Park in July, opening the BBC Radio 1 / NME Stage set on the Friday. They also played Reading and Leeds Festival on the Saturday and Friday respectively on the Radio 1/NME Stage supporting Babyshambles. In September 2008 the band were filmed for a cameo appearance on Australian soap Neighbours. [4]Released: 28th April 2023.
