Saturnia is the sixth solo outing from Jay Watson, better known as a member of Tame Impala's touring band and a key figure in Pond, working here under his GUM alias. Released in 2023, this pressing comes on clear 180-gram vinyl, and the music inside pushes past his usual psych-pop synth work into new territory, layering orchestral flourishes, synth-funk grooves, and quiet finger-picked folk passages inspired partly by Nick Drake. Written in part during a pause from touring after the birth of his second child, it's widely regarded as Watson's most ambitious and dynamic record under the GUM name.
