A couple months back, the Australian musician Jay Watson released a new GUM track called “Race To The Air.” Turns out that was a prelude to a whole new album, his follow-up to 2020’s Out In The World. It’s called Saturnia and will be out in September. Today, Watson is sharing a new single, “Would It Pain You To See?”

“I wrote this in lockdown with my newborn son, on my Wurli,” Watson said in a statement. “My songs are never really literal or with obvious meaning, but if I had to say what this one is about it would be the conflict of apathy and caring a lot about something, that’s inside all of us. It seems to be particularly confusing and crude in today’s day and age. I love the beautiful strings part played by Jesse Kotansky.”

Watch a video for the track below.
