There
are a lot of things to celebrate today. Foremost, I’m happy that my current
source of happiness is exceptionally doing fine; second, today’s the official
start for my new job; third, today’s the release of the latest Wombats track
called ‘Your Body is a Weapon’. And so on. Though the first two are worth the
talk, I’d rather want focus on the third for this purpose.
About
to release their third album just yet, I am very eager of The Wombats’ come
back in full circle underground―in which signals the failure of the scissors and papers as rock
reigns once again. But much to my intent of expressing my deep adoration for
these Liverpool prince’s, I somehow, always, find myself a step back away as most
people do not appreciate them, or worse, do not know them at all. It always feel uncomfortable playing A
Guide to Love, Loss, and Desperation or This
Modern Glitch around people, before.
But that was before. I have actually learned that people doesn’t
really need to love everything (including music and bands) I fall in love with, just as how I’m not obliged
to appreciate their own respective tastes. So in full awe, I am loudly
playing my freshly downloaded copy of ‘Your Body is a Weapon’ right at this
moment.
There
are three main reasons why I’m flatly ear-glued to this track: (1) the catchy promotional
mv, (2) its coincidence with my current state for the past few weeks, and (3) the
fact that it’s The Wombats. The track is a little dark in a good way, getting
me revved up, petting that distinct impression that it might run as hell and
make its way on top of my most love tracks for this year. Despite under-production,
as expected from an indie group, everything about it sounds huge, from the
girthy sounds to the infectious chorus.
