Watson also makes music of his own under the name GUM. Despite the name, Watson doesn&#8217;t have any direct connection to Stereogum. We&#8217;d never go the all-caps route. As far as I know, Watson doesn&#8217;t have any direct connection to the great Tennessee hardcore band Gumm, either. It&#8217;s just a name. Anyway, a new GUM album is on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Jay Watson released the GUM album <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2231212\/gum-would-it-pain-you-to-see\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saturnia<\/a><\/em> in 2023, and he followed it by collaborating with King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard&#8217;s Ambrose Kenny-Smith on the 2024 LP <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2262422\/gum-ambrose-kenny-smith-ill-times\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ill Times<\/a><\/em>. Blue Gum Way arrives in less than a month, and its new single &#8220;Celluloid&#8221; is a excellently spacey rhythmic zone-out. I am into this one. Watson says, &#8220;Everything feels worse in the middle of the night, it\u2019s where peak worry and catastrophizing happens. Exacerbated by a slow death from blue screen light and brain rot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Kristofski-directed &#8220;Celluloid&#8221; video is one long, slow zoom-in through beautiful golden-hour light. Below, you&#8217;ll find that clip, the previously released album track &#8220;Expanding Blue,&#8221; and the <em>Blue Gum Way<\/em> tracklist. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GUM - Celluloid (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V-MhzRLE41s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GUM - Expanding Blue (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jTE0K8VME3E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>TRACKLIST:<br \/>\u00a001 &#8220;Man Alive&#8221;<br \/>02 &#8220;Phosphene Scream&#8221;<br \/>03 &#8220;Expanding Blue&#8221;<br \/>04 &#8220;In Life&#8221;<br \/>05 &#8220;Man Ray Bay&#8221;<br \/>06 &#8220;Celluloid&#8221;<br \/>07 &#8220;It Happens Almost Every Day&#8221;<br \/>08 &#8220;Outrider&#8221;<br \/>09 &#8220;New Equator&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Blue Gum Way<\/em> is out 3\/6 on p(doom).
