Fresh off a sold out show at the Gothic Theatre in Denver on Monday night, The Wombats released a new video for Cheetah Tongue today. 

Today, The Wombats debut a cheeky new music video to accompany their third instant grat track from forthcoming fourth studio album,  BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE – PRESS HERE to watch to “Cheetah Tongue“. The track was also the “Hottest Record in the World” on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show.

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE will be out February 9, 2018 via Kobalt Music Recordings and is available for pre-order now with “Cheetah Tongue” joining “Turn” and “Lemon To A Knife Fight” as an instant grat. PRESS HERE to pre-order.

“‘Cheetah Tongue’ is a song about dealing with the pressures of adulthood and failing miserably,” the band shared. “The opening song on the album and probably the most psychedelic. “

In support of BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, The Wombats brought their irrepressible live show to North America on an extensive headline tour that kicked off this month. See full routing below and PRESS HERE to purchase tickets! The Wombats will also be joining Weezer and The Pixies on select dates on their summer 2018 co-headline tour.

Prior releases “Turn” and “Lemon to a Knife Fight”, have already racked up over 7.5 million Spotify streams in a few short weeks and numerous spins in Sirius XM’s Alt Nation. 

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE follows The Wombats’ 2015 LP Glitterbug, which garnered critical acclaim and debuted in the Top 5 on the UK Album chart and Billboard 100. Single “Give Me A Try” reached Top 20 at Alternative Radio, spent four weeks in a row at #1 on Alt Nation and, along with single “Greek Tragedy” has over 70 million combined Spotify streams. The band brought the singles – and their unforgettable live energy – to performances on CBS This Morning, Late Night With Seth Meyers and more. The band’s magnetic live shows led a fully sold-out North American tour, as well as unmissable festival performances at Austin City Limits, Outside Lands, Firefly, Reading and Leeds and more.

Written from three corners of the globe – drummer Dan Haggis in London, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen nursing his new family in Oslo and lead singer Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy in Los Angeles – BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE was created over long distance writing sessions, supplemented by intense two-week in-person sessions in Oslo. Produced by Mark Crew (Bastille, Rag’n’Bone Man) and Catherine Marks (Wolf Alice), the album finds The Wombats pushing the boundaries of alt-pop innovation with a lush, ultramodern indie soundscape, irrepressible hooks and tragi-comic lyricism belied by a newfound maturity and moving emotional depth.
