Gomez

Gomez burst onto the music scene in 1998, winning the Mercury Prize for their debut album Bring It On. The quintet's seventh album How We Operate is the first studio release for ATO records.

How We Operate finds the band not only working with the support of a new label but also with producer Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters). For the five members in Gomez - Ben Ottewell (vocals, guitar), Tom Gray (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Ian Ball (vocals, guitar, harmonica) Paul Blackburn (bass, guitar), Olly Peacock (drums). Recorded at RAK Studios in London, this focused approach resulted in a cohesive and accessible collection of songs that feature deft musicianship, lush melodies and the band's poetic yet narrative lyrical style including the powerhouse title track "How We Operate," the uplifting gem "See The World," and the playfully longing "girlshapedlovedrug."
