"1996" was the sixth and last single pulled from This Modern Glitch, the Wombats' second album, out on 14th Floor Records, and it's the song that gave the record its name: the album title comes from one of its lines. Matthew Murphy wrote the words, sings lead and plays guitar, and he built the music with drummer Dan Haggis and bassist Tord Øverland-Knudsen, all three of them also on synthesizer.
Eric Valentine produced, engineered and mixed it, with Butch Walker adding extra production, and the vocal credits spill over to take in Valentine and Alex Gilbert alongside the Liverpool band.
