The 2007 debut from this Liverpool trio-- known for exuberant singles like "Kill the Director" and "Let's Dance to Joy Division"-- gets a stateside release, just in time for summer.
Fluffy tales of youthful innocence and discovery, delivered via a power pop punch of sing-a-long choruses and jittery guitar tunes.
In the case of the Wombats, the three-minutes pop single in question is "Let's Dance to Joy Division," a genuinely swell bit of tongue in cheek new wave revivalism that's by far the best part of the Liverpool trio's debut album.
