The Wombats came back in January 2011 with "Jump Into the Fog", a single from their second album, This Modern Glitch. The English band put it out at home as a download EP, padded with 3 B-sides in "How I Miss Sally Bray", "Valentine" and "Addicted to the Cure", and it became their sixth UK top 40 hit.
It's still built for the dance floor, but somebody dimmed the lights: the band's usual bouncy indie-disco rush gives way to something moodier and more sober, a pulsing groove wrapped in gloom while the hooks keep enough of the old bounce to reassure the faithful. One blog reviewer heard it as the sound of the band growing up without losing the tune, and that's about right.
