Named for an exhibition in the Tate Modern, Love Fame Tragedy is how Matthew “Murph” Murphy, frontman of the indie-pop band The Wombats is scratching an itch to explore new musical avenues. Murph, plus a bunch of guests, including members of The Pixies, Alt-J, The Killers, and Soundgarden, are trying to find as many new ideas and do as many new things as possible, and having there be no politics about it. The band's synth-pop confessional sound is full of "ridiculously catchy choruses and unexpected turns of phrase" (-John Schaefer), and works in electro-blues and pop as well. Love Fame Tragedy joins us in-studio to play some of these tunes.
