Track Description
Available in:
"Greek Tragedy" is a song from synthpop band The Wombats. The track was released in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2015 as the lead single—in the form of an instant grat—from the band's third studio album, Glitterbug (2015). "Greek Tragedy" was written by band members Murphy, Haggis and Øverland Knudsen and was co-produced by Mark Crew (Bastille). The track received its premiere on BBC Radio 1 when it featured as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World on 14 January. An official remix of the track—from British band Bastille—was released on 27 January 2015.
Directed by Finn Keenan, the accompanying music video for "Greek Tragedy" premiered on YouTube on 15 January 2015. The video follows a young woman, portrayed by April Pearson, who becomes obsessed with the Wombats, culminating in her stalking and eventually murdering all of them. She then takes them to a warehouse and sets their corpses up like marionettes. The band credited Keenan for imagining the concept of the video. Knudsen said "it is refreshing sometimes to get a different sight on the song ... the video is not really what the song is about", and Haggis elaborated that "It’s not actually about a stalker – fortunately that’s not reality."
"The Wombats are back with new track Greek Tragedy - and a video by Finn Keenan with an unexpected, gut-wrenching punch. Finn focusses on a fan with an unhealthy devotion to the Liverpudlian trio. And there's initially no clue that she also has a vengeful streak worthy of (Greek tragedy reference alert) an Agamemnon or Medea. But no Greek heroine ever made such creatively violent use of a screwdriver or a toaster..." (David Knight, Promonews)
