The Wombats- Anti-D

A guilty pleasure of mine ever since "Lets Dance to Joy Division" are back with a ballad (of sorts), a tune produced by these guys could never  be classified as a true ballad but its an indie pop ballad ...i suppose.
They use a clumsy metaphor for being a "Human Anti-Depressant". The song itself is coupled with strings and anthem-like attempted vocals. In the long run, the song is not an anthem, it lacks power and gravity to achieve such heights. It remains however a catchy, witty and true to their nature indie-pop tune. It's not a song which grasps or amazes me but I wouldn't turn it off if it came on in the car either. A solid effort, hopefully the next album brings more depth or The Wombats may have fell off the wagon.
