Gaz Coombes, yes he of former bouncy Brit pop band Supergrass, has a new album coming out on 21st May called Here Come the Bombs. If this track is anything to go by, his style has become much darker. You can download
Sub divider for free (details on the website, his Facebook page and also on this YouTube video).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgVXkD2K5NY&feature=relmfu It is a slow grower (it took me about 3 listens to get into it) but now it's really wormed its way under my skin. There is a quiet menace at the start of the song which builds gradually until it pushes its way to the fore at the end of the song; powerful and aggressive. "I'm a wicked man" he sings and we can believe it. The chords remind me of Nirvana at their best.
The first single will be called 'Hot Fruit' and Gaz will be touring soon, but there are no dates as yet.
