Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life
The Wombats’ gift of making indie pop sound fresh and effortless continues unabated on its fourth album. Guitars shine like mirror balls, rhythms invite fresh dance-floor poses, and sky-high vocal melodies inspire the kind of sing-alongs that ensure you extra space on the bus. Their penchant for clever wordplay might cause head scratches—cue “Lemon to a Knife Fight” and “Out of My Head” for prime examples—but make perfect sense in The Wombats’ world.
The Wombats offer up sunshine-filled and catchy hooks on their fourth album, Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life.
Just last week, Anna Burch's excellent Quit the Curse was released, and I described it as a healthy break-up record with loads of logical self-care.
It’s a Spotify party playlist music for people who like to rock out alone between depression naps.
