Album Alert: GUM’s ‘The Underdog’ Is Out Now

A peek into GUM Galaxy

Some people set up a YouTube channel and record ‘A Day In My Life…’ videos where we see them eat $15 avocado toasts and rant about first world problems. But if you actually have talent like Tame Impala/Pond multi-instrumentalist Jay Watson, then you capture the emotional rollercoaster of your daily existence into one sleek galactic album. Watson has been teasing us with various new singles with his solo project GUM this year and has finally unveiled his latest LP The Underdog today. Stream the beauty below:

“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.” shared Watson.
