Gaz Coombes will start a full UK tour in May after the release of his new solo album World’s Strongest Man and a date at the London ULU on February 28th.
With the LP due out on May 4th, Coombes has arranged shows later that month in Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol and London. An Irish concert at the Dublin Academy then takes place on May 25th.
The Supergrass frontman is succeeding his 2015 album Matador – one of Live4ever’s albums of that year:
“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,” our review reads.
“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.”
