THE WOMBATS
FIX YOURSELF, NOT THE WORLD
AWAL
★★★★
Slowly rising to arena status and finally taken seriously, the trio overcome being variously based in London, Oslo and Los Angeles by getting big-name producers including Jacknife Lee and Mike Crossey to assemble the results. It’s much more cohesive than it sounds, their trademark playfulness roaming across funk, disco and trance as well as more traditional indie.
