Out In The World lands on June 12th.
Over the past decade Australian musician Jay Watson has firmly established himself as a reputable and dexterous multi-instrumentalist through his time spent as a key component of Perth outfits Pond and Tame Impala. In spite of the prolific nature of those bands, Watson has also found time between album rollouts and rigorous global tour schedules with the aforementioned to release four accomplished and stylistically varied full-length solo projects under the GUM moniker.
Announcing the release of his fifth album Out In The World this week, the news arrives alongside a preview of the LP in new single ‘Don’t Let It Go Out’.
Discussing the themes within his latest project, Watson states in a press release
“This album is my attempt at making a record that combines my fascination of how other people live their lives, with my own internal desire to analyse mine and improve it. ‘Out In The World’ was a phrase that conjured a lot of grandeur and ego, yet somehow felt really small and wholesome at the same time.”
Navigating familiarly psychedelic territory amid thumping synthesizers and hues of baroque pop, stream ‘Don’t Let It Go Out’ and view the full tracklist for Out In The World below.
