The Wombats release new EP 'Is This What It Feels Like To Feel Like This?' + dates
18 November 2022
The Wombats today release their brand new EP Is This What It Feels Like To Feel Like This?, out now via AWAL. The six track collection, which includes new single ‘Dressed To Kill,’ completes a groundbreaking year for the Liverpool-formed three piece, who scored their first UK number one album in January with Fix Yourself, Not The World, and have played their biggest shows to date, including a night at London’s The O2 in April, during their world tour.
Recorded shortly after completing their acclaimed fifth studio album, Is This What It Feels Like To Feel Like This? is The Wombats rawest material yet, trading polished synths for spiky guitar riffs and heavy choruses. The band themselves co-produced part of the project themselves, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen then taking some files back to his homeland of Norway to be mixed in his home studio, with regular collaborators Mike Crossey and Mark Crew working on the remainder.
The EP includes new single ‘Dressed To Kill’, which builds from sparse guitar and drums until it breaks out into an anthemic chorus. Speaking on the single, frontman Matthew “Murph” Murphy says: “Dressed To Kill is a slightly tongue in cheek song about getting prepared for an evening that will without a doubt go sideways, but attacking it with confidence nevertheless.”
