You may know Jay Watson as part of the live Tame Impala band or Pond, basically an established pillar of the great Oz Psychedelic Rock Movement of the last 10 plus years. GUM is his solo project and on his latest album 'Blue GUM Way' he works in a pastellised psychedelic electronic jazz rock palette as influenced by the mighty Talk Talk and Radiohead's 'Moon Shaped Pool'. 

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.
