By 2018’s \"\u003cem\u003eBeautiful People Will Ruin Your Life\u003c\/em\u003e\" they’d stepped up to arenas around the world, and 2022’s \"\u003cem\u003eFix Yourself, Not the World\u003c\/em\u003e\" was the band’s first UK #1 album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir recent Reading 2024 Radio 1 tent headline slot proved they continue at the top of their game, overspilling with crowds of 18-24-year-olds that remain the core audience 2 decades into their career. This set launched the new era of The Wombat’s sixth album \"\u003cem\u003eOh! The Ocean\u003c\/em\u003e\", a project that grooves with social anxiety, internal strife, compulsive behaviours and the dilemmas and tribulations of Los Angeles life, where Murph and his family live. From behind the band’s deceptively cuddly façade, Murph has always written openly about his anxiety, depression and addictions (he’s now “sober as hell”), but with this collection there’s a sense of progress towards confronting, accepting and coping with his issues. Alongside familiar sounds they explore new genres from glistening tech rock to sci-fi pop, futuristic fuzz rock to bluesy rock’n’roll, with touches of disco and hip-hop-inflections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wombats","offers":[{"title":"LP - Transparent Blue Vinyl","offer_id":49484496929113,"sku":"SDZ-38448","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Wombats_-_Oh__The_Ocean_-_LP_Transparent_Blue_Vinyl_-_2025.jpg?v=1728896795","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/the-wombats-oh-the-ocean","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
