Back into orbit after an Ian Ball solo LP, Gomez will release their sixth studio album this spring. “Airstream Driver”‘s the first listen, a pretty groovy tune with some silly synthy sounds, pianos, hand drums, guitars, and lots of cheering on the airstream driver. It’s yours for an e-mail address submission at gomeztheband.com.

I loved the last Gomez record– right up there with Field Music in my recent “why didn’t more people like this” hall of fame.
This doesn’t feel all that special– kind of all over the place, and a little half-baked. It actually has the same odd sheen that Ian Ball’s solo stuff has.
I’ll withhold any more judgement until I hear the rest.
Fuck yeah!
Ah, come on. An email submission? Don’t do it, even though Gomez is awesome.
They took the lyrics from the Red Red Meat song of the same name without crediting the band. Nice!
I think you’ll find that they’ve credited them in the sleeve notes. Nice eh!
