Incredibly, it’s 20 years since Supergrass’s landmark debut, I Should Coco, was released. To celebrate, the Oxford Britpoppers are reissuing the album in September with bonus CDs featuring B-sides, demos and live recordings. For Supergrass’s singer and guitarist, Gaz Coombes, the reissue marks a rare moment of looking back. Since the group split in 2010, he’s carved out a successful solo career releasing two acclaimed albums - 2012’s Here Come the Bombs and this year’s Matador.
Coombes, now 39, introduced Matador to 6 Music’s Shaun Keaveny last December, then talked about going solo with Jo Whiley on Radio 2 in April. He played Glastonbury last year too, and found time to pop into the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Music Teepee to perform a stripped-back, acoustic version of The Girl Who Fell to Earth. One of the most charming men in music, he’s welcome back anytime.
