Liverpudlian trio The Wombats have started the new year off right with the release of their explosive new single ‘Cheetah Tounge’.
Since November the band have gifted fans with a trilogy of singles of which Cheetah Tounge completes along with the fantastic ‘Lemon To A Knife Fight’ and ‘Turn‘. It was announced these tracks are from their upcoming fourth studio album ‘Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life’ which is set for release on the 9th of February.
Cheetah Tounge is the opening track to the album and it’s elevating builds and Psychadelic elements make for a brilliantly bold start to what’s set to be their best work yet. Frontman Matthew Murphy described the track being about ‘Dealing with the pressures of adulthood and failing miserably’ which I feel is a great place to pick up from marking their first release in three years and reflecting on that time.
If this track is anything to go by then this album should be a real banger! ‘Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life’ will be released on the band’s own record label on the 9th of February and you can pre-order it in all formats along with other goodies HERE.
