It’s an age-old practice — bands have songs you want to hear, they want you on their mailing list — the solution: barter.  If only politics were so simple.  The Wombats are freshly mastering their upcoming sophomore album, set for release February 2011 on three different labels, with four different producers.  Not as simple.

After the success of “Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves),” which became the band’s highest charting single in several English and a German-speaking country, they must be feeling pretty confident about the new record.

The Wombats have another preview track to offer, “Jump Into The Fog,” for the paltry price of your email address.  The song represents stylistic changes for the band on the new album, including a more dance-able rhythm section and some darker lyrics, with hooks intact.  Give it a listen HERE.
