The mercurial neo-psychedelia of GUM is the creation of Pond and Tame Impala drummer Jay Watson. The solo project's full-length debut, Delorean Highway, appeared in 2014. Taking a varied approach over the next several years that was always trippy but sometimes drenched in fuzz, more robotic synth pop, or crunchier rock, GUM went with a synth-enhanced psych-rock for his more cohesive fourth album, 2018's The Underdog.

The palette-shifting but consistently cosmic Out in the World and Saturnia followed in 2020 and 2023, respectively. A year later, Ill Times was a loss-themed yet still colorful collaboration with Ambrose Kenny-Smith. 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.
