Gomez
For How We Operate, their fifth studio album, Gomez didn’t set out to reinvent the wheel. Oh no. The British quintet just wanted to change the blueprint for a different sort of rounded object: Their own records.
“As a creative partnership, and as friends, we had to regroup and make a career-defining record,” says Tom Gray [...]
