How We Operate is the fifth studio album by the British rock band Gomez, which was released in May 2006. The album was produced by Gil Norton and was recorded at RAK Studios, London. The band have again adopted the more minimalist and mellow sound for which they are famed and acclaimed. It received mostly positive reviews, and reached #69 in the UK charts.
Ben Ottewell wrote How We Operate the same morning he wrote Blackbird off his solo album Shapes and shadows, and was quoted saying "was quite a productive morning, I wish all hangovers were like that"
Was used as the closing music to the Hitcher featuring Sean Bean
