Wombo’s third album, “Danger in Fives”, isn’t a reintroduction; it’s a reminder. Throughout “Danger in Fives”, Wombo — the Louisville-bred three-piece of Sydney Chadwick (bass/vocals), Cameron Lowe (guitar), and Joel Taylor (drums) — not only enhance their formula, but routinely perfect it.
The 11 tracks on “Danger in Fives” fine tune Wombo’s enchanting alchemy while firmly pushing the band into new territory. Wombo first connected in Louisville in 2016 and have crafted a unique lane over the near-decade since forming, contorting post-punk structures into uncanny shapes.
today the band is dropping its final advance single, “S.T. Tilted.” It comes alongside another unreal video helmed by the band, and it’s a perfect distillation of Wombo’s unique sound: hypnotic vocals, frantic guitars, and incisive drumming.
On “Danger in Fives” they twist another knot into their belt, and come out creatively renewed. Throughout “Danger in Fives”, it’s clear what has made Wombo one of the most respected bands in their class, and it’s thrilling to hear them command new terrain.
