Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life by Wombats
Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life is an album by Wombats, released in 2018. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Turn”, on 4 lists with a best position of #12.
Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life, the Wombats' fourth album, arrived on 9 February 2018, three years on from Glitterbug. The Liverpool trio of Matthew Murphy on vocals and guitar, Tord Øverland Knudsen on bass and Dan Haggis on drums still know their way around a big, bouncy chorus with a nervous twitch in its step.
"Lemon to a Knife Fight" went out first, the previous November, and set the tone with its jittery, wiry guitars; "Turn", "Cheetah Tongue" and "Black Flamingo" followed it. Reviews were mostly kind, and the goodwill carried them on to Fix Yourself, Not the World, the album that finally gave them a UK number one.
