Gum released their debut album 'Low-flying Kites' to excellent reviews in 2003.
Featuring a clutch of great tunes and some spooky atmospherics, the album brought the mellifluous vocals and stunning looks of Leigh Myles to a wider audience, with sales in Australia, the US, Japan and New Zealand, as well as in the UK.
Their latest mini-album, 'Seven Feeble Alibis' is released through Serali Records.
Punchier and even more radio-friendly than the debut album, Seven Feeble Alibis occupies a more muscular territory than its predecessor. Imagine Aimee Mann going for the jugular by way of Zero 7 and youre halfway there.
There are some beautifully downbeat moments too, framed within the distinctively dreamy Gum soundscapes. Leigh's voice is seductive throughout, but the addition of multi-layered backing vocals lifts the killer choruses to truly dizzying heights.
As their reputation grows, Gum are looking to build upon a rapidly-growing fan base in 2007. As Is this Music? magazine put it: Leigh Myles is a weapon of mass distraction, with a voice that could stop wars. She's a star waiting to happen.
