The Wombats have released their newest studio album, Oh! The Ocean.
Along with the release of the album, the band has released a new video
for the single "I Love America And She Hates Me". The song speaks about Murph’s (the frontman of the band) love//hate
relationship with America. It specifically points out the ambitions of
America, its diverse politics and lack of gun regulation. The video opens up with a disappointed
businessman and then he begins riding a Cyr wheel, but the man is Hauke
Narten, a professional Cyr wheeler. The spinning wheel represents the
ever changing relationship that Murph has with America matching what the
lyrics portray. The director of the video, Logan Fields, spoke on the video, "When
Murph first sent me a clip of Hauke's cyr wheel routine we knew this
was the video. We flew him out from Germany to perform in the video as
he captured the ideas of the song so perfectly. It’s really about taking
control of your life and attempting to escape external worldly
pressures through passion and self-expression."
