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. Seldom does a pop band come along so shamelessly simple and fun, that even the most cynical of critics can’t help but kneel over in their wake. Welcome then, to the rare but wonderful world of The Wombats and its charming debut LP ‘A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation’.
