The Wombats follow their Top 2 album This Modern Glitch with the release of their third full-length Glitterbug on April 10.

Produced by Mark Crew (Bastille) and The Wombats – frontman Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen and drummer Dan Haggis – the album’s themes were inspired by core songwriter Murph’s experiences in Los Angeles. Drawn to the city’s mix of “opulence and anxiety”, his song writing for the album focused upon the idea of writing about a tumultuous relationship with a fictional woman from L.A.

Glitterbug also features Your Body Is A Weapon, which was originally released as a free download for the band’s devoted fanbase. Previous album This Modern Glitch saw The Wombats build on the initial success of their debut album as it became their highest charting album most notably in Australia where it peaked at #2 and reached Platinum status. This Modern Glitch included hit singles Tokyo (vampires and Wolves) and Jump Into The Fog.
