Our guests today are none other than indie-rock royalty, The Wombats. The honorary Australian lads from Liverpool are back with their sixth studio album, Oh! The Ocean—a record that subtly expands their sonic palette while still delivering the anthemic energy fans love. In today’s episode, we welcome Matthew Murphy, aka Murph, back to the podcast to chat all things Oh! The Ocean, including how the beach served as a thematic inspiration, the songwriting process across both The Wombats and his solo project, and how the band’s dynamic has evolved over the years. We also dive into what makes for a great song title six albums in and, of course, their highly anticipated return to Australia later this year for Somersault Festival.
