Wombo – Danger In Fives
Wombo are back. Today, the Louisville-bred trio of Sydney Chadwick (bass/vocals), Cameron Lowe (guitar), and Joel Taylor (drums) return to announce their new album, Danger in Fives, out August 8th on Fire Talk Records, and present its lead single/title track.
In addition, Wombo unveils an accompanying “Danger in Fives” music video — helmed by the band’s own Lowe — and plots for their headlining North American, UK and EU tour.
Danger in Fives is Wombo’s third full-length record, and marks the band’s first release in over 2 years. In the years since, Wombo have performed globally, fine-tuning and tightening a batch of tracks across countless shows.
Danger in Fives isn’t a reintroduction; it’s a reminder. Throughout the record, Wombo not only enhance their formula, but routinely perfect it. Maintaining the confidence of their last full-length, 2022’s Fairy Rust, Danger in Fives reconnects with the intuition that led their wild experiments on the 2020 debut LP Blossomlooksdownuponus. The elements central to Wombo remain true, and are only strengthened across a near-decade of crafting mesmeric rock.
“See through mind said to me, ‘the danger comes in fives,’” Chadwick cooly intones in today’s opening track, as skittering production gestures toward something entirely irresistible ahead. “Now we all sit in a circle and pass the danger down.” The accompanying video sees Chadwick in a feedback loop of repeating days, each remittance offering slight alterations with every go around. Of the track, Chadwick adds: “’Danger in Fives’ has something to do with loops and cycles and the comfort I get from walking around a peddlers mall.”
