Wednesday Music Interlude: Gomez

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/215TX5PQRML._SL500_AA180_.jpgThe bluesy boys from England have lost a bit of their psychedelic coolness in recent years. Split the Difference starts off strong, but then wimps out. Despite a few really bright moments, How We Operate gets a little too mainstream adult contemporary at times. On Liquid Skin there is a rawness to it. A dirtiness that is balanced with the sense that Gomez toked up a little gange on the way tot the studio or enjoyed a hit of the peace pipe in between tracks. The production is raw and live sounding. It's like you are hanging with these boys at the local pub, getting your hair and clothing doused in the thick smell of smoke over a dark warm beer. After this song, I am sure that you will want another round. This one is called "Blue Moon Rising".
