“If ever there was a time to jump on board GUM’s groovy jams, then that time is now.”

“GUM has crafted a soothing, swirling concoction of original and inspired psych-pop.”

“Jay’s knack for pop hooks makes his latest record shine just as much as his previous sun-soaked offerings.”

Following the release of his Underdog LP via Spinning Top/Caroline AustraliaGUM the moniker of of Tame Impala/Pond multi-instrumentalist Jay Watson will be performing a special in-store set and signing at Red Eye Records tonight. With sold-out shows in both Perth and Melbourne, GUM’s national headline album tour will continue this week with appearances at Oxford Art Factory on Wednesday April 11th before finishing up at The Brightside, Brisbane on April 12th. Local supports include Ben Witt, Worried About Lizards, Emerson Snowe, Candy, e4444e, San Mei, Stevie and Emma Russack.

The Underdog follows latest single and video release ‘The Blue Marble’. Described as “an endlessly flexible musical polymath,” Watson’s ability to traverse multiple genres is evident in his latest sonic offerings. Mixed and recorded himself, GUM describes his fourth LP as “The soundtrack to a day in the life of GUM. Starting before going out at night, full of spirit and euphoria and feeling like it’s me against the world, before crashing and waking up riddled with anxiety and panic, only to build myself up to do it all again.”

With a series of sold-out headline shows in 2017 and appearance on the line-up for Gizzfest, GUM is no stranger to packed venues. Having supported the likes of Mac DeMarco and Mini Mansions, the multi-instrumentalist is set to support Angel Olsen on her solo tour this March. The new LP follows GUM’s 2014 debut Delorean Highway, 2015’s Glamorous Damage, and 2016’s Flash In The Pan. In 2018, The Underdog is set to entice a new legion of GUM fanatics and firmly establish Watson’s distinctive sound.
