Gomez — Out West

When Gomez won the U.K.’s Mercury Music Prize in 1998, their mix of blues rock and everything else made the critics pay attention. Since then, the band have faded into the background, content to do their own thing. Recorded live at the Fillmore theatre in San Francisco this year, Out West shows a more mature band still fusing their interests to...

Gomez — Split The Difference

Gomez's warped blues jumped into the stratosphere with their last album, 2002's In Our Gun. With Split The Difference, their fourth album, they land firmly back on terra firma. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it's good to hear them returning to the stylized, neo-psychedelic blues of Liquid Skin and Bring It On, it's also a bit...

Song Of The Day: Gomez' "Options"

Southport, England's Gomez return on June 21 with Whatever's On Your Mind, their follow-up to 2009's A New Tide. "Options" is the first single from the new LP, and it's got the quintet's typically poppy, late '90s post-Brit pop sound they share with similar acts like the late Supergrass. We're pretty sure you won't be able to get that saxophone...

Gomez, Luke Doucet Go Together Nicely In Vancouver

It's fitting that Luke Doucet would return to Vancouver as part of the Cultural Olympiad series, seeing as he first made a name for himself as a member of Veal, one of the city's mid-'90s, indie pop buzz bands. Doucet's almost 10 years removed from that part of his career, and is now a full-fledged singer/songwriter troubadour, complete with...

Pumping: Gomez — A New Tide

Well, this isn't the best thing Gomez have done, but it's still a great combo of Britpop and folk from one of England's most overlooked bands. And how can you go wrong with a drummer named Olly Peacock?

Gomez To Tell Us How We Operate

in
U.K. Mercury Prize-winning band Gomez have survived a large load of label politics in recent years and are now more optimistic than ever about their forthcoming album, How We Operate. The band's seventh effort, due on May 2, will be their first for ATO Records (My Morning Jacket, David Gray), which was co-founded by Dave Matthews. The new label...

Gomez — Machismo EP

I still don't get the whole Gomez movement going on in the U.K. To me they're just a bunch of slacker hippies jamming out some rock tunes. There isn't anything new or impressive in the music or in the band themselves to garner as much hype and accolades as these boys have received. Maybe the Brits are starving for something rockier than Blur or...
