World's Strongest Man

'World's Strongest Man' is the magnificent third solo album by Gaz Coombes. Inspired variously by Grayson Perry's the 'Descent of Man', Frank Ocean's 'Blonde', Californian weed, British woodlands, unchecked masculinity, Neu! And hip hop (and a whole lot more besides), it's a truly remarkable collection of eleven deeply personal songs each set to expansive, addictive melody. From the deep soul purge of the title track, to the coruscating Fripp-goes-motorik sprint of 'Deep Pockets' via the gorgeous cyclonic ballad 'Slow Motion Life' and 'Vanishing Act's raw-as-hell stream of consciousness panic attack, 'World's Strongest Man' is a bold, ambitious, free-thinking, future-facing rock'n'roll record.
