“There were some songs left over from [The Wombats’ new album] that we didn’t use and I was like, ‘They’re really good, they should see the light of day somehow’,” he said. “But since then there’s been a load more and they’ve been parked, but we’ll see what happens.”
Murphy also revealed that The Wombats will be heading into the studio for their fifth album “early next year”.
