Details: Product description Gomez ~ In Our Gun Amazon.ca The third album proper from the most inventive British band of the past five years, In Our Gun is bang on target and brilliantly off kilter. Gomez create new musical hybrids every time they hunker down in the musical laboratory. Since emerging from Southport with the Mercury Prize-winning debut Bring It On in 1998, the self-produced five-piece have created their own rules. What's miraculous about their follow up to Liquid Skin is that it manages to advance on the manic diversity of its predecessors. Gomez are a unique band--they have three distinctive vocalists in Ben Ottewell, Ian Ball and Tom Gray and an ever fizzling chemistry where every member is made to count. The resulting emotional and musical palette is vast, encompassing epic grandeur and lucid intimacy; tenderness and anger. A quick check of their armoury reveals Beefheart-ian blues, a beautifully cantankerous horn section, Mariachi melodies, euphoric harmony vocals, blasting hip-hop beats, slide guitar that sounds like it's come up the Mersey via the Mississippi... and that's just for starters. Resistance to their Gun is futile, but rest assured surrender is bliss. --Gavin Martin
