The Wombats have released another song from their upcoming sixth album.
Can't Say No serves as the final preview of 'Oh! The Ocean', which is due out on February 14 via AWAL Recordings. The indie-pop track looks at escapism and the impulsive, sometimes self-destructive decisions people take to distract from inner turmoil. Frontman Matthew "Murph" Murphy said:
"Can't Say No would be my favourite on the album I think, I kind of wanted it to sound like the three of us playing in a room together if that room was in space. The song is about making decisions that in no way benefit my future self, and in fact cause my future self a lot of problems. I never truly learnt to live 'in' the moment, I was only ever living 'for' the moment and as if that moment was going to be my last."
Alongside the new song, the Liverpool band have announced a show at Trentham Estate on May 29 as part of the At Trentham series. Support will come from Pale Waves and Red Rum Club. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on January 24.
Prior to that, they'll support the follow-up to 2022's chart-topping 'Fix Yourself Not The World' with a previously announced UK and European tour in the spring, featuring support from Everything Everything and Red Rum Club.
