A female-fronted intelligent pop band, skillfully deploying lush atmospheric soundscapes, beautiful harmonies and killer hooks.
Bio / Background
Based around the songwriting of Raymond Weir and the vocals of Leigh Myles, Gum released this, their debut album, to favourable reviews in 2003.
There are trippy moments (like the hypnotic ‘Surrender’), some mellow acoustic vibes (the oh so sweet ‘Tomorrow’) and even some driving power pop (‘Cigarette Song’) in this literate and quirky collection.
Leigh’s voice is wonderful throughout, and the production cleverly exploits the spooky atmospherics created by the band to lift these tracks above the realms of ordinary everyday pop.
Although they have the odd happy moment, Gum is definitely not a sweetness-and-light band. ‘Is everybody happy’ (surely one of the few songs ever written about a sex clinic for depressed adults?) has a rather sinister quality, while the bitter and recriminatory ‘Frozen Out’ would not sound out of place on OK Computer.
