Oh! The Ocean trembles with the confessional emotional honesty that makes the Liverpool band's music as cathartic and relatable as it is catchy and playful, to their continuously growing young fanbase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three piece took 50 new songs to Echo Park, LA, in July 2024 for six weeks of sessions with new producer John Congleton (St Vincent, Wallows, Death Cab for Cutie) to create a superbly melodic album. The title is inspired by a revelatory trip to the beach frontman Matthew “Murph” Murphy took on a family holiday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking on the experience, Murph says: “I’ve been to many beaches and seas and coasts over the years but for some reason it felt like the first time I had ever seen it and was truly present. There was this revelation that I had been living a life caught up in my own head, or in some kind of racing helmet or with blinkers on. It was really a potent experience. I felt like I saw everything new for the first time, and was aware that I had been so selfish to not take in how crazy the world and life is. I’d been caught up in my own BS for way too long. The album offers up some internal questions like: why are my head and body disconnected all the time? Why am I incapable at times of seeing any form of beauty in the world or in others? Why do I expect the world to conform to my will? Why do I never stop and smell the flowers?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince they emerged as leading lights of the late-‘00s indie rock scene with 2007 debut A Guide to Love, Loss \u0026amp; Desperation, Murph, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen and drummer Dan Haggis have maintained an incredible upward momentum. 2011’s electro-flecked second album This Modern Glitch made them Top Ten regulars; 2015’s third Glitterbug saw them embraced by the TikTok generation, with ‘Greek Tragedy’ a viral hit several times over. By 2018’s Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life they'd stepped up to arenas and 2022’s Fix Yourself, Not the World consolidated their unstoppable rise with the band’s first Number One album, seeing them reach over 2.5 billion streams. Headline shows at Crystal Palace and The O2 followed amid the band’s biggest touring cycle so far, taking in arenas across the globe and culminating at Reading 2024, where the band headlined a rammed Radio One tent overspilling with crowds of 18-24-year-olds that remain their core audience twenty years into their career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Murph now feeling the benefits of his fresh perspective, Oh! The Ocean represents a line in the sand from which The Wombats are sprinting onwards into a mature new phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVinyl Colour\/Design may slightly vary from the stock images shown on the website for this item.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003eRELEASE DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e[Album], [Coloured]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"_1d68rll1\"\u003eLP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"_1d68rll2\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eSorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want To Come\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eCan't Say No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eBlood On The Hospital Floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eKate Moss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eGut Punch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eMy Head Is Not My Friend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eI Love America And She Hates Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eThe World's Not Out To Get Me, I Am\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eGrim Reaper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eReality Is A Wild Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eSwerve (101)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"_1d68rll3\"\u003eLobster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Rock-Pop-Alt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42041695600758,"sku":"TWMB003LP","price":62.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/3009\/6246\/files\/ohtheocean.png?v=1742278614","url":"https:\/\/rockaway.com.au\/products\/wombats-oh-the-ocean-transparent-blue-coloured-vinyl-lp","provider":"Rockaway Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
