The Room re-record ‘Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl’

Liverpool post-punk outfit The Room unveils a re-recorded version of their 1982 debut single ‘Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl,’ set for digital release August 12, 2026. The track marks the sole reimagined composition from their forthcoming third album since reuniting in 2023, titled ‘Doom Pop!’, arriving September 4 via 9×9 Records. Produced by Dave Jackson and Steve Powell at Ark Recording Studios and mastered by Pete Maher, the refreshed rendition showcases drummer Clive Thomas’s distinctive style alongside updated post-punk sensibilities. Jackson emphasized the song’s contemporary resonance within their modern catalog, describing the album as shorter, poppier tracks responding to contemporary fascism and paranoia. The LP follows 2023’s ‘Restless Fate’ and 2024’s conceptual ‘The Telling,’ maintaining the band’s characteristic jangly post-punk aesthetic enhanced by keyboardist Ethan Kyme’s contributions.
