Going For Adds 4/16 & 4/17: Gaz Coombes, George Sarah, & Cut Chemist
Gaz Coombes‘ debut album Here Come the Bombs is going for adds this week. The album arrives two years after the demise of Supergrass and was hugely influenced by the film scores of John Carpenter & John Barry. Tracks like “Hot Fruit” channel Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief while “Fanfare” & “Break the Silence” have the light-hearted electronic feel of a Hot Chip song and “Sleeping Giant“ resolves the record on a dreamy note that mirrors French duo AIR.

Who Sleep the Sleep of Peace features collaborations with members of Telepopmusic,Save Ferris, Morrissey, The Pogues, Bauhaus, and more.
