Louisville indie rock quartet Wombo have released their latest single ‘Spyhopping,’ lifted from their forthcoming third studio album Danger in Fives, due August 8th on Fire Talk Records. The track showcases intentional shifts in their writing practices and creative approach.
‘Spyhopping’ begins with vocalist and lyricist Sydney Chadwick’s lone bass line before quickly expanding into a complex sonic landscape enriched by warped electronics and the band’s signature palette. Distorted guitar lines cut through self-interpolating vocals, creating what the band describes as a “chopped-and-screwed feedback loop that leaves the ears wanting more.” The track demonstrates Wombo’s enhanced formula while incorporating digital textures and drum machine elements found throughout the new album.
“‘Spyhopping’ is a behavior by marine animals like whales, where they are checking their surroundings by poking one eye out of the water while keeping the rest of their body safely underneath. The lyrics resemble my broken train of thoughts, going from one direction to the next, and my attempt to ‘reel it in’ and become centered again. Like being underwater, and needing to, every now and then, resurface for clarity.”
This fall, Wombo will embark on an extensive US/UK/EU tour including stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and London, with support from Smut, shower curtain, and Ribbon Skirt. The tour kicks off with a hometown album release show at Louisville’s Whirling Tiger on August 8th before hitting major cities across three continents through November 19th.
