User Album Review
With 2015’s Matador, Gaz Coombes elevated himself from Supergrass frontman-turned-solo-artist into a Mercury Prize-nominated musician that could be taken on his own (substantial) merit. Its follow up, World’s Strongest Man, sees Coombes propel himself further, allowing the more experimental side hinted at on the aforementioned to really come to the fore.
Even from the outset, the loping falsetto of the title track earmarks World’s Strongest Man as far more than another indie record. Each track feels completely different from the next, without ever feeling fractured, or out of sorts.
Whether it’s the motoric outro of “Deep Pockets”, the fragile fingerpicked guitar of “Oxygen Mask” or the Pixies-esque delivery of the penultimate “Vanishing Act”, there’s little here that Coombes doesn’t test the waters of. And though in lesser hands such eclecticism may have felt forced and disjointed, here it’s nothing short of excellent.
