‘Turn
The
Car
Around’
is
a
record
that
I’ve
been
building
up
to
for
the
last
seven
years,”
says
Coombes.
It’s
a
record
of
feeling,
an
album
that
captures
the
ups
and
downs
of
modern
life
and
all
the
small
print
in
between.
Written
and
recorded
by
Coombes
in
his
gloriously
ramshackle
Oxfordshire
outhouse
Studio,
he
has
emerged
with
the
best
work
of
his
illustrious
career.
It’s
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
2015’s
Mercury
and
Ivor
Novello
nominated
sophomore
album
Matador
and
2018’s
World’s
Strongest
Man.
At
the
same
time
it
carves
a
bold
new
way
forward
for
one
of
the
UK’s
most
gifted
and
cherished
singer-songwriters.
“There’s
a
lot
of
subject
matter
in
there
that
I’ve
played
with
and
maybe
not
managed
to
see
through
in
the
past.
I’ve
evolved
and
I
feel
like
I’ve
got
better
at
what
I
do”.
‘Turn
The
Car
Around’
features
additional
instrumentation
from
members
of
Gaz’s
live
band,
Garo
Nahoulakian,
Nick
Fowler
and
Piney
Gir.
The
album
also
sees
Coombes
reuniting
with
his
live
band’s
vocal
trio
‘The
Roxys’
(a
nickname
given
to
them
by
Nile
Rodgers
when
they
shared
the
bill
at
a
Later
with
Jools
show)
to
create
a
rich
and
nuanced
sonic
tapestry.
Cameo
performances
appear
courtesy
of
Willie
J
Healey
and
Ride’s
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
‘Here
Come
the
Bombs’,
and
riding
a
crest
of
the
Supergrass
reunion,
the
announcement
of
‘Turn
The
Car
Around’
solidifies
Coombes
status
as
one
of
the
UK’s
most
interesting,
enduring
and
effortlessly
classy
artists.
