Bluesy indie rockers from Southport England.
Gomez' debut release "Bring It On" managed to secure them the prestigious Mercury Prize in 1998. The band have since released 6 albums in as little as 15 years and their latest release "Whatever's On Your Mind" is set to be another classic.
These indie evergreens seem to keep steadily churning out record after record, oblivious to trend or fad. This is Gomez’s seventh studio record and on first listen, the thing that strikes most about “Whatever’s On Your Mind” is the almost relentless upbeat feel. There is very little dark to dampen the sun-dappled choruses and optimistic mood of the lyrics.
One of extremely few bands whose guitar lines still sound fresh and not recycled. They make interesting music at a time when innovation is depressingly at a premium.
