Tzigane music is an artistic form that can pretend to be universal, and for a cause. Filled with eternity in space as well as in time, it seems to have always encountered, welcoming lands as well as humilating ones, exil and happiness, periods of recognition and centuries of oblivion.

Ahead of a new album from Wombo due out in August 2025 we're bringing 'Fairy Rust', the Sophomore album back into stock on a new color. Wombo contemplates the spaces in-between, a meeting of the physicality of the land with the fluidity of the imagination, to uncanny effect. Across twelve tracks, sharpened guitar work, distorted freakouts and downtempo musings weave together a tapestry of sound that's both intoxicating and effortless. Where one minute it's all deadpan post-punk energy, and the next Stereolab on a mountain top. The music functions as their own localized language that feels uniquely out-of-body. Conceived over the course of the last two years, the record is steeped in it's own time warp of escapism, and influenced by fairy tales like the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson that blend surreal situations with the mundane. Flirting with prog, pop and effervescent post-punk, Wombo's forward-thinking approach set them apart as one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands right now.
