Every Wednesday, the ugly hug shares a playlist personally curated by an artist/band that we have been enjoying. This week we have a collection of songs put together by Louisville-based group, Wombo.

This Friday, Wombo is set to release their third full length album Danger In Fives via Fire Talk Records. As a three piece, made up of Sydney Chadwick, Cameron Lowe and Joel Taylor, Wombo crafts complex structures with jagged intonations, straying patterns and foundational instincts that play out like the depths of a city skyline in full view. Forcing themselves into new territory, reshaping the writing process and traveling down paths of experimentation, the trio approached this album with a newfound excitement to their already existing strengths. As it unfolds, the band’s ability to make each riff and run feel like a conundrum, a means to observe the cause and effect of the most minor choices, Danger In Fives becomes one in and of itself as Wombo continues to embrace a world entirely of their own.

Syd’s picks songs 1-7, Cams picks songs 8-13, Joel’s picks songs 14-18. Listen to the playlist here;
