Gaz Coombes Shows How To ‘Walk The Walk’ With New Single From ‘World’s Strongest Man’
Gaz Coombes has released ‘Walk The Walk’, the second track from his forthcoming album World’s Strongest Man, due for release through Caroline International on 4 May.
Built from a twisted bassline, space-aged gospel vocals, swooping strings and lo-oscillating synths Walk The Walk is a sleek, sinewy and thoroughly addictive mediation on the dangers created by, as Coombes says, all of the “misguided, delusional men that are making the world worse for everyone else” – the unstable men who seem to be in positions of power all over the planet.
The follow up to the well-received ‘Deep Pockets’, Walk the Walk is taken from Gaz Coombes’ third solo album, World’s Strongest Man, recently described in Mojo’s 4-star review as: “continuing proof that the 42 year old Gaz Coombes’ best work is happening in the here and now.”
