Another Gum Country Tune

Leave a comment

I think you’ll all be happy to know that this Gum Country record does indeed rule, and you’ll finally be able to hear it in its entirety next week! But, before we get there, lets rejoice in another single to make sure you get your daily dose of ear candy. It’s all fuzzy guitars and space-age noises woven into the tapestry of Courtney’s melodic vocal delivery. This one feels more like a meditative state, letting you sink deep into the core of the song like some sort of psych-pop quicksand…if you don’t move, your body will float to the top of the song with a huge grin upon your face. Somewhere will be out next Friday.

Gum Country Share Another Jam

Honestly, I was just checking in on Gum Country this morning, wondering if another single had slipped by me. But, I was lucky, as I hadn’t missed a thing, though I had no idea this gem was coming my way. I love the pulsing energy from the guitars, pushing the pace with that steady rhythm in the background. The perfect blanket of fuzzy distortion wraps itself around the core of the song, not to mention the hazy bubble on the vocals; this is exactly what guitar pop music should sound like if you ask me. Don’t be afraid to listen for that slight little pop sensibility gurgling beneath the surface; put your head closer to the speaker if you need to! Somewhere will be out on June 19th!

Gum Country Announce Debut LP

Leave a comment

Why on Earth can’t more bands sound like this? I mean, I reckon I’d get bored after a long time, but I’ll be damned if this Gum Country tune isn’t the right jam for me. It’s got the fuzzy bits that make my ears perk up near the stereo, but still carries on that pop sensibility that makes a song worthy of repeated listens. The band set out to make ‘harsh twee,’ and while I can hear that applying, I do think they take this beyond twee pastiche; it almost seems to have a little psychedelic noodle coursing through the core of the song. Their debut LP Somewhere will be out via Kingfisher Bluez and Burger Records.
