GUM Hits the Right Notes with ‘Music Is Bigger Than Hair’
Jay Watson, AKA GUM gets back to his wistful roots with “Music Is Bigger Than Hair” a stripped down track that gets to the heart of listeners with clever twists and turns. The new single is from the upcoming album Saturnia set for a Sept. 15 release.
“’Music Is Bigger Than Hair’ is a funny title, I think it’s referring to me getting older and feeling my mortality a little bit more, or at least my worth as a musician being tied up in the way I look,” Watson said. “Feeling like it’s affecting my music, as if it has anything to do with it. Musically it’s one of my favorites because of Jesse Kotanskys beautiful string arrangement.”
