GUM – “Gemini”
Tame Impala/Pond multi-instrumentalist Jay Watson has just announced A Flash In The Pan, his third solo album under the name GUM. We’ll only have to wait until next week to hear it, and he’s already given us a taste in the form of the funky, synthy psych-popper “Gemini.”
“‘Gemini’ is the first song I recorded for the album, and probably the most immediate,” Watson says in a press release. “I’m not really a fan of star signs. It’s kind of a song about people pinning stuff happening in their lives on things like star signs and religion. I am a Gemini though, so there’s the bipolar/duality thing in there is as well.” Listen and check out an album teaser featuring the legendary Sexy Sax Man below.
