GUM - Blue GUM Way
Jay Watson has been releasing records under his GUM moniker for over a decade, & the recordings have followed his wildest creative impulses. For his 7th studio album, GUM has focussed on 9 songs that explore a specific mood & sound.
Blue Gum Way sets its roots deep into a widescreen, jazz-informed & psychedelia, one influenced by the the likes of Talk Talk & Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool. This LP is the work of an artist who has reached the clearest sense of what he wants to say.
Chewing gum is a soft, cohesive substance designed to be chewed without being swallowed. Modern chewing gum is composed of gum base, sweeteners, softeners/plasticizers, flavors, colors, and, typically, a hard or powdered polyol coating. Its texture is reminiscent of rubber because of the physical-chemical properties of its polymer, plasticizer, and resin components, which contribute to its elastic-plastic, sticky, chewy characteristics.
Following the release of the GUM and Ambrose Kenny-Smith (King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard/The Murlocs) project "Ill Times", this is GUM's first solo release via p(doom) records
Publicists will be hired in key markets (US, AU, UK) for a 2026 album
