Glitterbug

"Mostly, 'Glitterbug' occupies an equidistant point between Passion Pit and The 1975; only 'The English Summer' and 'Pink Lemonade' bear much resemblance to the antsy, fidgety post-punk The Wombats made their name with, and both end up falling somewhat flat. In its place are the sleek, synth-laden likes of 'Be Your Shadow' and `Headspace' - precision-engineered for mass appeal, but no less effective for it. Not everything works quite so well - insipid single 'Give Me a Try' is an instant left-swipe of a song, and 'Curveballs' provides an anticlimactic ending, bringing closure to the album's narrative and little else besides - but a certain amount of filler is always going to be de rigueur for a band like The Wombats".

"Der er stadig masser af kække moves, men det er keyboards og synth, der fylder, ikke guitar. Det virker dog fint. Emoticons åbner albummet med en småsleazy omgang indie-funk og en tekst, der cirkler om breaks ups. Give Me a Try og This Is Not a Party høvler derudad med power som moderne fest-numre, og her træder den elektroniske drejning virkelig frem, ligesom på førstesinglen Your Body Is A Weapon. Den har efterhånden været ude halvandet år, men det er stadig en fin ørehænger".
