Turn The Car Around
Written and recorded by Coombes in his gloriously ramshackle Oxfordshire outhouse Studio, he has emerged with the best work of his illustrious career.
Itâs an album that both taps into the sonic palettes and lyrical themes of its predecessors and marks the third and final part of a trilogy of records alongside 2015âs Mercury and Ivor Novello nominated sophomore album Matador and 2018âs Worldâs Strongest Man. At the same time it carves a bold new way forward for one of the UKâs most gifted and cherished singer-songwriters.
 âTurn The Car Aroundâ features additional instrumentation from members of Gazâs live band, Garo Nahoulakian, Nick Fowler and Piney Gir. The album also sees Coombes reuniting with his live bandâs vocal trio âThe Roxysâ to create a rich and nuanced sonic tapestry.
Cameo performances appear courtesy of Willie J Healey and Rideâs Loz Colbert, and Coombes shares co- production duties with long-term collaborator Ian Davenport. As he celebrates 10 years of his lauded solo career since the release of his debut âHere Come the Bombsâ, and riding a crest of the Supergrass reunion, the announcement of âTurn The Car Aroundâ solidifies Coombes status as one of the UKâs most interesting, enduring and effortlessly classy artists.
