Overview

Gomez are on their way back to Australia.

Their seventh studio album since they formed in 1997, Whatever’s On Your Mind, maintains the strongest aspects of Gomez’s sound. With gritty vocals that tear through carefully arranged background harmonies and electronic-dance sounds, the album has a spirit that is overwhelming and free-spirited but at the same time shows the maturity that the band have gained over their nearly two decade-long career.

Chunky guitar and beautifully lush dynamics bring an ever-changing pace to the record, keeping it constantly fresh with a thrusting drive that has the listener on the edge.

Gomez’s sound incorporates a wide range of musical elements, with flavours of blues, psychedelia and krautrock, and influence from the likes of Beck, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell and Marvin Gaye.
