Last.fm Presents: The Wombats
The Wombats came back strong in 2011 with their sophomore album This Modern Glitch. They began work on the album in early 2009, shortly after coming off the road supporting their debut album. With the exception of a few festival appearance and shows here and there, the band concentrated mainly on the album. This was necessary even more so, considering there was no material ready to record going into the sessions. No songs had ever been played live, like they were for A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation. If you dig super-catchy Britpop/rock with keyboards, it doesn’t get any better than this.

East London's not a bomb site
It is a treasure chest
We use our penguin costumes
More than our evening dress
She said I should come over
It is a treasure chest
We use our penguin costumes
More than our evening dress
She said I should come over
Interview with The Wombats
The rest of the performance
Lyrics
I had no cares in the 1990's
I knew of no downfalls
Though war was breaking out all around me
My concerns were with prank calls
She kissed me on the cheek' she kissed me on the cheek
I knew of no downfalls
Though war was breaking out all around me
My concerns were with prank calls
She kissed me on the cheek' she kissed me on the cheek
Lyrics
We're self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally I know now what it takes
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally I know now what it takes
