Details: Amazon.ca Gomez was celebrated in 1998 for their debut album, the understated adult rock record, Bring It On. This prolific band is releasing a third compilation album, Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline (B-sides, unreleased tracks, remixes, and various radio sessions), an excellent overview of an extraordinary band that stands well apart in the English rock landscape. Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline highlights the very essence of Gomez – the only British band to have such an American, such a bluesy sound – and brilliantly shows how Gomez breaks away from the English pop music tradition to go shopping across the Atlantic, unashamedly dipping into rhythm 'n' blues – without ever, of course, denying Liverpool and its heritage. Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline, far from being just an anecdote or the lazy filler suspected of any compilation, warmly retraces the musical evolution of a naturally gifted band, and offers a complete tour of their ingenious songwriting ability, from early home demos to the most recent, elaborate, and perfect blends of groove, rock, and blues. --Elsa Forget
