The Wombats' Youtube channel is also offering access to 60-second clips
for each album track from The Modern Glitch: 
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheWOMBATS.  The album's 10 tracks retain
the immediacy and hook-filled sensibility of their stunning UK
platinum-selling debut, 2007's The Wombats proudly present ... Guide To
Love, Loss And Desperation, while introducing aggressive dance elements
and a heavier, wryer lyrical bent to their infectious alt-pop.  With
proven singles such as "Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves), Top 20 in the UK, and
the gloriously arranged, epic track "Anti-D," with its confession lyrics
concerning frontman Matthew "Murph" Murphy's dealings with depression
and antidepressants, This Modern Glitch introduces us to a mature
confident band whose catchy club-friendly sing-alongs actually have
something "real" to say.

The Wombats are currently on a sold-out UK tour and have confirmed
appearances at V Festival, Lovebox,  Lowlands, Pukkelpop, Hurricane and

Southside festivals as well as three special US dates, listed below.
