Last time we checked in with the dark energy of Louisville trio Wombo, we were praising their single, “One of These.” They’re back with another dirge, full of intentionally sour-sounding notes (e.g. Pile) and haunting vocals, this time called “7 of Cups.” It’s impossible not to bop along to the trudging bass anchor – it’s similarly difficult not to sway along to the spindly guitar work that hangs like a thick fog over the rest of the track. About the song, Wombo says:
“The song is about losing time, forgetting/ being forgotten by time, and feeling trapped by time. The hourglass I found at an antique mall and it gave me the idea to have myself trapped inside a room as a clay version of myself by it.”
