Gomez - 'Girlshapedlovedrug' (Independiente) Released 29/05/06

Are Gomez still going? Apparently so. After somehow managing to keep plugging away for a decade now, the five-piece have returned to cause the merest of dimple's on the world's conciousness with a slice of remarkably average indie-pop. ‘Don’t ask me why,’ it asks, ‘this girlshapedlovedrug messes with my mind.’ Don’t worry, we won’t. Beats us why the song's admittedly inoffensive blandness seems to have garnered a generally warm welcome. It's there, then it's gone and instantly forgotten.... Anyways, I heard the other day that Gomez are still going...
