Gomez – New Tide (CD)
Product Details
Gomez built their reputation the hard way, winning the Mercury Prize in 1998 with their debut before most American listeners had caught on, and they've spent the years since refusing to stand still. New Tide finds the Southport five-piece leaning into the loose, collaborative energy that's always made them a natural fit for the jam world, where their studio records and marathon live sets have earned them a devoted following on this side of the Atlantic.
A NEW TIDE marks a return to the always free-wheeling British band's more experimental roots, with songs like "Win Park Slope," and "Airstream Driver" evincing a spirit born of boundless imagination and a long-standing collaborative relationship. A wide range of styles is incorporated into a NEW TIDE'S matchless musical brew. Flavors of Delta blues, psychedelia, and Krautrock all come into play, resulting in a musically mischievous and remarkably forward-thinking collection. In short, a NEW TIDE is Gomez at their inimitable incomparable best. A NEW TIDE also sees Gomez accompanied by a number of illustrious guest musicians, including vocalist Amy Milan, bassist Josh Abrams, cellist Oliver Krauss, and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Bogie of Brooklyn's world-renowned Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra.
