Gomez

Before the live recording on June 28, 2018, Gomez had recently released their studio album "Both Sides of the Coin" in 2018, marking a significant return for the band. The album was notable for being their first release since their 2015 album "Whatever's On Your Mind," indicating a resurgence of creative energy and intent to reconnect with their audience after a brief hiatus from major releases. The live performance of "Whippin' Piccadilly" at KEXP showcases Gomez's signature blend of genres, melding elements of rock and blues, which has been a hallmark of their sound since their early days. The band's ability to maintain relevance in the evolving music landscape is impressive, and the recording at KEXP, a hub for live music sessions, reflects their continued influence and dedicated fanbase. The performance demonstrates their evolution as artists while still embracing the unique sound that earned them critical acclaim in the late 1990s.
