Gomez - Las Vegas Dealer

Gomez has gotten a fair amount of blog love for their just-released album, and rightly so: they’re a good band. They’re also a band that I spent much of the last dozen years completely ignoring.  I honestly don’t know why, in retrospect, there was just something that bugged me about their music.

Then a year or two ago a friend passed me a mix that had Las Vegas Dealer on it. The song absolutely grabbed me and so I started digging back into their albums…and was totally unable to remember why I didn’t listen to them. Give this track a try and see whether you want to hear more — I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
