A Quick Chat with GUM

Tell us about your new single “Would It Pain You to See?”, what does this track mean to you?

I’m really proud of this song, I think it’s quite unique and has some of my best songwriting in it.

What were some of the creative and production processes like when putting together the track?

I wanted it to feel cinematic, but also like a home recording. It’s got organic instruments like acoustic guitar, drums and strings, but also electronic elements like drum machine and synth.

Tell us about the vision behind the music video, what was the filming process like?

The music video was all Michael Hili, he had a distinct vision and just went for it. It was a joy to film.

Your sixth studio album Saturnia is out September 15, how are you feeling about the release?

I’m excited about the release ! I think it’s my best album yet.

What are you looking forward to most about your upcoming tour?

To be honest I’m just looking forward to playing loud guitar live, it’s been so many years since I’ve done that and is one of the great joys in life.
