The Wombats - 'Is This What It Feels Like To Feel Like This'
Liverpool trio The Wombats return with their pulsating and electronically-driven new single ‘Is This What It Feels Like to Feel Like This’.
With a seemingly endless supply of musical creativity amalgamating in two album releases since 2020, The Wombats’ latest output ‘Is This What It Feels Like To Feel Like This’ is teeming with indie pop ambition. Recorded shortly after their fifth record, Fix Yourself, Not The World, hit the airwaves, ‘Is This What It Feels Like To Feel Like This’ boasts pulsating electronic beats and strong leading guitar lines.
Delving into the origins of the track, frontman Murph divulges, “I remember driving past an extremely rundown hotel and wondering what the hell could be going on in there, and that's where this song was born. It's about catching someone in a compromising situation that's very unusual for their specific character and is far more fitting for your own.”
Featuring Murph’s staple vocal intonations, the track finds its home in wild juxtapositions of blooming to darkness set in lyrics such as “I hear the daffodils are all in bloom / I summon monsters to the door of your hotel”, as Murph delves into narratives of self-improvement and overt existentialism.
The new single comes alongside the announcement of a six-track EP under the same title set to be released November 18th. After nearly two decades in the game, the illustrious trio show no signs of letting up any time soon, and if ‘Is This What It Feels Like To Feel Like This’ is anything to go by – this next record is set to be a blinder.
