“Everything I Love Is Going To Die” is an upbeat track and the most recent single from The Wombats. To make the single even more special, the band decided to drop an extremely unique and highly retro visual;

Whilst the title may be quite dark, the song in itself is fun and insanely catchy. The track focuses on the notion living to the fullest whilst we still can. With everything that’s been going on in the world these last couple of years, it’s a message that we all need to remind ourselves every once in a while. Modern pop is the main influence that can be heard within the track, and sees frontman Matthew “Murph” Murphy at his most surreal. He explains;

“The song is about the impermanence of life, and with that in mind, the beauty of each passing second. Key line for me is ‘Icarus Was My Best Friend, So I’m Gonna Make Him Proud In The End’, which I guess is a playful take on living life to its fullest even though the consequences of that might be dire. Certainly not a call to Nihilism however, but perhaps a call to being present and the joy that can be found in appreciating each moment we find ourselves in.”

“Everything I Love Is Going To Die” is only a glimpse of what’s to come. On the 14th of January 2022, The Wombats plan to release their new studio album “Fix Yourself, Not The World” – which is now available to pre-order here. To celebrate the release of the album, the trio will be hosting a collection of intimate UK shows beginning on January 6th, 2022 at PRYZM, Kingston. Tickets and album bundles can be found via their website.

If you are unable to attend these gigs, fear not. The band will also be heading out on a massive tour next April – including a huge show at the iconic London venue the O2 Arena. Full dates for the intimate shows, and tour can be found below;
