Gaz Coombes has announced the details of a new album entitled World’s Strongest Man.
His follow-up to Matador – one of Live4ever’s albums of 2015 – is due on May 4th and is being trailed by Deep Pockets.
“The haunting, atmospheric ’22/20′ complete with trademark Gaz ‘ooohs’ is a forward-thinking effort with echoes of Radiohead whilst retaining his distinguished songwriting hallmarks,” we said of Matador.
“It’s a sound dabbled with on the debut solo album ‘Gaz Coombes Presents: Here Comes The Bombs‘, but here it is fully realized, its chorus explodes into a euphoric climax that’s begging to soundtrack a dramatic space film scene.”
“‘Buffalo‘, a song already previewed, shares ’20/20’s grandiose appeal and picks up where tracks like ‘Bombs‘ left off on the first album, whilst elevating it all to a new level.”
“The album is a daring departure from his solo debut and takes some risks which largely pay off. Guitars are not as prominent for a start. What does remain though is the consistency in Gaz’s voice, which as usual is faultless.”
