Glamorous Damage is the second studio album by Australian multi-instrumentalist Jay Watson's music moniker GUM.[2][3] The album was released in Australia on November 13, 2015 by Spinning Top Music. In September 2014, Watson recorded this album in London with the assistance of English rock band The History of Apple Pie's Jerome Watson.[4] The thirteen track record was announced in September 2015.[5] It was preceded by the single "Anesthetized Lesson", which was remixed by Australian multi-instrumentalist musician, Kevin Parker, and released in March 2016.[6][7]

Jay Watson described the title of the album as "about people glamorizing getting fucked up or being weirdos, when there is always a danger you could end up damaged yourself just through putting it on a pedestal".[8]

Reception[]

The album was described as "Daft Punk songs" but on "drugs."[9] Pitchfork's Stuart Berman described the album as "the 8-bit, Nintendo video game adaptation of a blockbuster film".[10] Writing for Under the Radar Magazine, Marty Hill wrote, "[This album] doesn’t attempt to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the grandiose acidity of his various other projects."[11]
