Love Fame Tragedy is the solo project of Matthew "Murph" Murphy, known primarily as the frontman of the British indie rock band The Wombats. Conceived as a creative outlet for Murph's music outside the confines of the band's signature sound, Love Fame Tragedy emerged in 2019 with the debut EP "I Don't Want To Play The Victim, But I'm Really Good At It." The project's name, a nod to the complications and complexities of fame, sets the tone for its emotionally resonant and sonically eclectic output.

Bridging indie rock with electronic and pop influences, Love Fame Tragedy presents a more personal and introspective side of Murph's songwriting. With tracks like "5150" and "Slipping Away," the project delves into themes of mental health, relationships, and self-reflection. The EP "Five Songs to Briefly Fill the Void" and the subsequent album "Wherever I Go, I Want To Leave," released during a prolific period of creativity, have cemented Love Fame Tragedy's place as a musical endeavor with depth and an exciting deviation from Murphy’s work with The Wombats. The project is also notable for its collaborative nature, featuring contributions from various artists across the music industry.
