Tame Impala never ceases to amaze me. Depending on how far you let yourself go into the internet wormhole, you’ll find half a dozen or more bands (ex: Pond) and side projects associated to the group. The members of Tame Impala have music oozing out of their souls. So much so that they can’t stop putting out amazing music. It’s massively inspiring to listen to all of their material because it’s evidence that each member is in love with music and their craft. They’re not doing it for the fortune or fame, although, they’re on their way to it, and deservedly so. They’re doing it because they have to.
Today’s feature is GUM, which is Jay Watson’s (former drummer, current keyboardist/guitarist) solo project. It sounds like you’ve been transported into Jay’s brain and are floating along in his rock n roll dreamscapes. But don’t get too used to GUM’s current sound. In a recent interview, Jay Watson said his second album will sound a lot different, less retro rock, with more original sounding electronic and dance music.
