Gum
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, sometimes more robotic synth pop, and sometimes crunchier rock, GUM committed to a synth-enhanced psych rock for his more cohesive fourth album, 2018's The Underdog.

Hailing from Western Australia, Watson began recording self-produced music as GUM in 2011. Read Full BioThe 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, sometimes more robotic synth pop, and sometimes crunchier rock, GUM committed to a synth-enhanced psych rock for his more cohesive fourth album, 2018's The Underdog.

Hailing from Western Australia, Watson began recording self-produced music as GUM in 2011. The alias is short for his nickname, Gumby. The project's first album, Delorean Highway, arrived on Spinning Top Music in 2014. He followed it a year later with Glamorous Damage, and the synth-hook-heavy Flash in the Pan saw release in 2016. Without relinquishing synths, a more streamlined psych rock defined The Underdog, which arrived on Spinning Top in 2018. Still putting out albums with Pond and on call for the live version of Tame Impala, Watson issued GUM's fifth long-player, Out in the World, in 2020.

There are others artists with the same name:

(2) Gum are a London based, four piece musical pop group. Gum were born on Thursday 15th September 2011 and are not dead yet.

(3) Back in the late '80s, Melbourne's Andrew Curtis and Philip Samartzis collaborated in the aurally volatile project simply called Gum. With little expertise or training, the two gathered up what objects they were familiar with, in particular thrift store turntables and soiled records. Eschewing their original attraction to the giants of Industrial Culture, Gum quickly developed an aesthetic privileging the caustic rupture of skipping records and smoldering surface noise, predating the current avant-turntablist aficionados like Philip Jeck, Janek Schaefer, and Otomo Yoshihide. With the publication of Gum's Vinyl Anthology, 23five, Inc uncovers the bulk of Gum's work, including all of the material from their self-published albums Vinyl and 20 Years in Blue Movies and Yet to Fake an Orgasm as well as several infamous compilation tracks and plenty of unreleased material.

(4) Gum is an indie rock band from CT/NY.

(5) Gum is the doom/sludge metal band from Italy.

LYRICS: Pin-balling between the stars
Be the book to my racing heart
A cold-bladed history on chrome
I want to find out if we’re alone

And when the worlds align
You’ll be reminded that you’ll be fine on your own
Watching the stars

And you turn around and we were back on at home
Back on the road
Back on at home
And you turn around and we were back on at home
Back on the road
Back on at home

(You'll stay)
(You’ll stay)

Is everybody in love?
And everyone that you’ve ever met
Is everybody you hate
And [?] there is

And when the worlds align
You’ll be reminded that you’ll be fine on your own
On the mote of dust in a sunbeam

And you turn around and we were back on at home
Back on the road
Back on at home
And you turn around and we were back on at home
Back on the road
Back on at home

(You’ll stay)
(You’ll stay)

[Bridge]

[Outro]

Pin-balling between the stars
Beating up my racing heart
A gold-plated history on chrome
I wanna find out if we're alone
And when the worlds align
You'll be reminded that you'll be fine on your own
Watching the stars

And you turn around and you look back on it all
Back on the world
Back on it all
And you turn around and you look back on it all
Back on the world
Back on it all
You'll stay
You'll stay

There's everybody you love
And everyone that you've ever met
There's everybody you hate
And every sinner and saint there is
And when the worlds align
You'll be reminded that you'll be fine on your own
On the mote of dust in the sunbeam

And you turn around and you look back on it all
Back on the world
Back on it all
And you turn around and you look back on it all
Back on the world
Back on it all
You'll stay
You'll stay

Be the book to my racing heart

And when the worlds align
You’ll be reminded that you’ll be fine on your own

And you turn around and you look back on it all
Back on the world
Back on it all
And you turn around and you look back on it all
Back on the world
Back on it all

(You'll stay)
(You’ll stay)


Bless everybody in love
And everyone that you’ve ever met
Bless everybody you hate
And every sinner and saint there is


And when the worlds align
You’ll be reminded that you’ll be fine on your own
On the mote of dust in a sunbeam


And you turn around and you look back on it all
Back on the world
Back on it all
And you turn around and you look back on it all
Back on the world
Back on it all

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

-- Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

Would any of us be mad if Kevin let jay play this at a Tame Impala show? I know I wouldn't.

If only, I think a Pond show with Kevin drummer is more likely to happen one day

Auriana
