Mercury Award winning British blues types Gomex are set to return with new album ‘A New Tide’.
Formed in the mid 90s, Gomez’ debut album ‘Bring It On’ was a spectacular success. Recorded in their garage, the record went on to scoop a Mercury award and become a landmark for the band.
The band revisited that album last year with a full re-issue and a number of special shows playing ‘Bring It On’ in its entirety. New album ‘A New Tide’ was recorded in a much different fashion than their debut.
With the band members now scattered across continents, the musicians recorded their parts separately then merged them online – tricky business!
‘A New Tide’ features guests musicians such as Stars’ Amy Milan and Stuart Bogie of the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra. Containing a wide variety of style it may well be Gomez’ most ambitious effort to date.
Gomez release their new album ‘A New Tide’ on April 6th.
