“Confidence without bravado, an analogue man refusing to succumb to the throw away values of a digital age – it’s an evolution that’s worth celebrating.”—DIY MAGAZINE
“An instinctive and honest sublimation of a state of mind, full of intriguing revelations but leaving enough questions unanswered to keep you ever seeking more in its grooves.”—MOJO
“This is a bold confessional and one made all the stronger by music that’s creative and daring”—THE QUIETUS
In anticipation of his first-ever North American solo tour and the physical CD release of Matador, Gaz Coombes is pleased to unveil the live video for the title track to his Mercury Prize-nominated album.
The video features a minimalistic yet compelling performance of “Matador” by Coombes, Ben Walker, Garo Nahoulakian, Loz Colbert (Ride), Nick ‘Growler’ Fowler and the stunning 32-member Southbank’s Voicelab choir backing Coombes, and was recorded live at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall of February 2015. The song, which The Line of Best Fit declares as a “moving song of defiance, a tear jerker that’s also heart-warming,” is featured as the closing track on the album.
