The Wombats: 'Oh! The Ocean' Listening Party

We're excited to announce a Listening Party for UK indie rockers The Wombats' brand new album 'Oh! The Ocean', released on 14th February 2025. Join us the night before to listen to the album in its entirety and be among the first to hear it it all its glory.

Since they emerged as leading lights of the late-‘00s indie rock scene with 2007 debut 'A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation', Liverpool’s The Wombats – Matthew “Murph” Murphy, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen and drummer Dan Haggis – have maintained an incredible upward momentum, amassing 2.5B streams along the way.

Their Reading Festival 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 'Oh! The Ocean', 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. 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.
