Over the years Gomez have threatened to become the mega-selling band they deserve to be, but have instead built a healthy following while becoming a major live act. Their early albums were a mix of sonic distortion and musical experimentation and produced classic original albums Bring It On and In Our Gun. Somewhere along the way, things started to sound the same.

The new album, Whatever’s on Your Mind, is a return to form. It is a slow burner that sneaks up on you with repeated listens and reminds us all why we thought they were so original way back when. The experimentation is still there, though it has been refined with age. Their work is like watching a movie full of lush, vivid landscapes rolling across a huge technicolour screen.
