Summary

Today’s Top Tune: GUM ‘In Life’

Australian musician Jay Watson has spent more than a decade releasing music under his GUM moniker, and has recently dropped his self-produced seventh album Blue Gum Way. Known for his work with Tame Impala and Pond, Watson steps into a more cohesive, mood-driven sound, drawing from influences like John Martyn, Talk Talk and Radiohead. Today’s Top Tune “In Life” captures a pivotal “sliding doors” moment — a reflection on the choices that shape who we become.
