Just as the lists have been written and the year's best-of compilation is in preparation, Gum's latest 7" ('Sinking' b/w 'Over') thuds onto the doormat, a mere two and a half months after its advertised release date...
It's lush and lovely and layered; a good step forward, ahead of the album the band are now recording. 'Over' makes an intriguing break into Cocteau Twins territory and I am sure there are further developments to come.
Give the single a try on Bandcamp here and see if you're swept away too.
