Gomez never followed the map — In Our Gun is what happens when they burn it entirely.
Released in 2002, this is the sound of a band refusing to stand still. Where their earlier records leaned into bluesy roots and warm analogue textures, In Our Gun twists the dial — pulling in electronics, samples, loops, and a restless, genre-hopping energy that keeps you on edge in the best way.
It’s fragmented, playful, occasionally chaotic — but always intentional. Songs morph mid-flight, grooves appear and disappear, and just when you think you’ve got a handle on it, the band veers somewhere else entirely. And yet, underneath it all, that unmistakable Gomez soul remains — loose, human, and deeply musical.
There’s a quiet confidence here too. No need to chase hits or repeat past successes. This is exploration for the sake of it — a band pushing themselves into new territory and trusting the listener to come along for the ride.
In Our Gun might not be the record you expect from Gomez. That’s exactly the point.
