Gaz Coombes has continued the build-up to his new solo album World’s Strongest Man.
Walk The Walk is streaming now ahead of the LP’s release on May 4th as the Supergrass frontman prepares to succeed Matador – a Live4ever album of the year in 2015:
“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.”
A May UK and Ireland tour opens soon after in Glasgow, and from there visits Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol, London and Dublin.
