Louisville, KY indie rock/post punk/psych band Wombo have returned with their new single “Slab” and its accompanying video.
The song serves as the title track of their upcoming EP ‘Slab‘, which will be out on June 9 through Fire Talk. Pre-order your copy here.
“Slab” was inspired by a book Sydney Chadwick read about disassociation, and came from improvising lyrics in the band’s basement practice space.
The band’s Cameron Lowe says: “The lyrics were drawn up as soon as we wrote the song, while staring at the concrete walls in Joel’s basement. The video imagines what would happen if we literally removed the basement wall and instead opened it to a stream of random scenes and ideas like a pharmacy, a replica of Sydney’s house and front porch, the imaginary bedroom, and a journal entry of Sydney’s about a dream she had.”
