THE WOMBATS Confirm Major UK Tour from September 2011

Confirm major UK tour to commence in September


“For me, there has been one record, of late, that’s been so ecstatically uplifting and bursting with classic modern pop tunes that it’s elevated me out of any slump, funk or sluggishness I might have been feeling at the time. Believe it or not, it’s the new Wombats album. Maybe Murph is the new Prozac after all.” – NME

“A modern pop primer bursting with potential hits… reminds you just how thrilling and sharp-edged narrative pop can be.” – Sunday Times Culture

“A joyous, infectious pop album full of uplifting melodies” – The Fly

‘The Wombats proudly present… This Modern Glitch’, will cement the band’s status at the forefront of contemporary pop with a collection of glint-in-the-sunlight perfect tunes - better even than the dancefloor killers of their first chart onslaught. It features their two biggest airplay hits to date in the shape of ‘Tokyo (Vampires And Wolves)’ and ‘Jump Into The Fog’ as well as their next single ‘Anti-D’ which is set to be another hit when it’s released on Monday.
