Wombo Present New Single "Spyhopping" | Album out August 8 !
Today, Wombo present their new single “Spyhopping,” lifted off their forthcoming album, Danger in Fives, out August 8th on Fire Talk. “Spyhopping” begins with vocalist/lyricist Sydney Chadwick’s lone bass line, and quickly grows into Wombo’s most adventurous track to-date, with warped electronics enriching the Louisville rockers’ signature palette. Distorted guitar lines cut through self-interpolating vocals, creating a chopped-and-screwed feedback loop that leaves the ears wanting more. Digital compositions like “Spyhopping” are found throughout Danger in Fives, and come from intentional shifts in writing practices throughout the album’s creation. The resulting Danger in Fives isn’t a reintroduction, though; it’s a reminder. On their third studio album, Wombo emerge confident and recharged, flexing the muscles that have earned them a respected reputation among their class of independent musicians.
“Spyhopping” is presented alongside a lyric video helmed by guitarist Cameron Lowe, and follows the Louisville rockers’ transfixing trail of singles: moody title track “Danger in Fives” and the kinetic “Neon Bog.” Each new single offers a glimpses at Danger in Fives’ taut, gauzy sound. This fall, Wombo will embark on a US/UK/EU tour, including stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, London and more. Prior to embarking on their headlining tour, Wombo will celebrate Danger in Fives’ release with an intimate hometown show at Whirling Tiger on Friday, August 8th. With more still to come, a list of currently-announced tour dates are below with all tickets on sale now.
