GUM / Ambrose Kenny-Smith - made of Jay Watson (Gum, Pond, Tame Impala) and Ambrose Kenny-Smith (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Murlocs) - release the deluxe edition of 2024's, "Ill Times", an album born out of a friendship that began over a decade ago.
Watson and Kenny-Smith first met at the bar in the hazy hours after Tame Impala played the legendary Eureka Hotel in Kenny-Smith’s hometown of Geelong, Victoria in 2009. But it wasn’t until Kenny-Smith’s bands came to prominence a couple of years later that the bond between these groups was formed.
The album is easily as much fun as the duo had making it, and that was a truly ridiculous amount of fun. For six albums now, you’ve heard Jay Watson’s brain, unfiltered, as GUM.
Now you can hear what that brain sounds like when it’s refracted through Ambrose Kenny-Smith’s bluesy, soulful lens. And it’s a very wonderful sound indeed. The deluxe edition comes with an additional 4 bonus tracks.
180g 12" injection-molded opaque black PET record. 12” jacket comes with printed inner-sleeve, all housed in a 100% recycled plastic over bag
