Why The Wombats' 'A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation' deserves its pink vinyl reissue
Fifteen years on from The Wombats’ stun gun debut, 'A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation' continues to stand as a linchpin of late-'00s indie rock.
Chaotic, unexpectedly comedic, and tailormade for sunset slots at festivals, it's a love letter to youth scattered across punching guitars. Setting a snappy, slightly unhinged pace from the outset, this has always been a record meant to test the limits of speakers and wear dancefloors dangerously thin too.
An album that soundtracked so much of a generation’s early forays into adulthood, A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation will always conjure a sense of joy and freedom that can only belong to youth.
A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation by The Wombats (15th-anniversary pink vinyl) drops via Warner.
