Another band… another comeback single. Our favourite Scousers The Wombats return with “My Circuitboard City” following the success of highly acclaimed debut “Love, Loss & Desperation”. This is not the wild, bouncy Wombats of old though. Following the bleak festive release “Is This Christmas” I thought the Liverpudlians would be returning to old ground, with catchy hooks and witty lyrics. Unfortunately this is not the case with this single.
The song barely seems to get off the ground, with it following the same pattern throughout on auto pilot. There is one line that sticks in my head “have a dance, have a drink” but unfortunately the song flatters to deceive. I’m disappointed, and expect better for the new album!
p.s. The video kick ass… check it out below!
2.5/5
