My previous experience with The Wombats is exclusively that of their track “Let’s Dance To Joy Division.” I never loved the song, but I’ve heard it an awful lot. This is due to the fact I constructed a playlist for my parents out of local radio station WBER’s 2008 year end best-of countdown, and the song placed fairly high on that list. My parents just recently purchased a new computer and being a wonderful son, I transferred all of my music to them in a completely legal manner. Thus far I’ve only constructed two iTunes playlists for them, and since they aren’t inclined to do it themselves the only other playlists are those of my younger brother’s. My mother doesn’t listen to those. Therefore I’ve heard The Wombats quite regularly at their house, as they are part of one of the only playlists that gets frequent play. It seems as if the following types of things happens frequently; an older song fades out of consciousness until something perhaps mystical, or merely coincidental, grabs it back in, all around the time that said band is releasing new material.
While stylistically different from “Let’s Dance To Joy Division,” “Jump Into The Fog” is at about the same level of interest for me as that previously limited experience with the band; I’ll give the song a listen, and might come back occasionally of my own accord, but not with any fervor. The new track is the second we’ve heard from their forthcoming 2011 release. The first is more enjoyable, if in a more blatantly obvious fashion. “Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves),” and a few remixes of itself are available on a UK EP and I’ve streamed the track below. I can see its appeal to the British masses, but it’s a bit too Good Charlotte for me.
