WOMBO BACKFLIP
Trippy prog-punk trio Wombo release new single 'Backflip' and announce new album Fairy Rust due out July 29th on Firetalk Records. Inspired by Brothers Grimm fairytales, the mixture of the absurd and the mundane is already audible from the two singles (check out the sinister dreamlike atmosphere of 'Below The House' ), the album is set to be a surreal trip swerving between genres and sounds, part angular post-punk, part psychedelic prog, all with an unnerving ever present sense of the uncanny lingering between the notes. The song is accompanied by an swirling part animated video, 'Backflip' is about being stuck in a loop, continuously running back into yourself," Sydney Chadwick explains. "The video ties into 'Below The House' in that it is an extension of the nightmarish-dream world experience we wanted to convey." -Toby Evans-Jesra
