Description
Its been an extraordinary journey for Gaz Coombes, from flashily whiskered pop tearaway to Ivor Novello and BRIT award winning rock star to soundtracking the summer (he was responsible for that sublime cover of The Kinks This Time Tomorrow for John Lewis last year). The mega-watt melodic genius responsible for ten Top 20 hits and six Top 20 albums I Should Coco was Parlophones fastest selling debut since the Beatles Please Please Me returns with his remarkable new album, entitled Matador.
Theres this disposable vibe around music at the moment which is odd, because its so obviously central to most peoples lives, says Gaz. Life is full of moments of fear, loss and longing, but its how you get through those things and triumph over them which define you. But theres as much light as there is dark on this record; theres beauty in both of those states and that has always intrigued me.
Who could ever doubt it? Call it the return of the album if you like, but one things for sure. Matador is the sound of one of Britains greatest songwriters facing the future with a flourish.
