Gumming are a post punk band from Richmond, Virginia who featured on here a couple of years ago when I highlighted a "noisy, pissed off, but not without a tune" song of theirs that I had included in a Just Some Punk Songs show female vocalists special https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/04/gumming-anger-ranting.html
That track was from their previous and very good album Human Values. Last month they returned with new full length Overripe and it's another winner. The band are a 4 piece; Emelie Von Unwerth (vocals), Landon Walker (guitar), Marisa Cagnoli (bass) and Lee Halpin (drums), the songs are compact flurries of spiky noise bursting with spit and snarl. The vocals are confrontational the music jagged and intense. You can get the vinyl version from Vinyl Conflict http://vinylconflict.storenvy.com/collections/264674-all-products/products/30368569-gumming-overripe-lp-vc-030
This is the opening track and what a fine way to kick things off. It's an intense burst of creeping paranoia that'll leave you sweating and looking over your shoulder. "They're Coming For Us"... Sleep With One Eye Open, Don't Blink And Don't Turn Your Back Now"... "They Know All About You, They Know How To Find You"
It's called Slipstream...
