"Gum"
The first time I saw Have A Good Season at Asbury Lanes, one of the members was wearing a Dinosaur Jr. t-shirt; and the band covered "The Lung." I immediately knew that we were kindred spirits. Last week, they released a gem of a single in the form of "Gum."
The track features the swaying influence of lots of classic, guitar-based indie rock like Built To Spill or Pavement. It leans more heavily on a power pop sound than the fuzzed-out freak outs of Dinosaur Jr., but even J. Mascis has some catchy pop hooks buried beneath all the noise. The lyrics describe the feeling of getting to know someone early on as well as the desire to recapture that once it's gone.
Have a listen to "Gum," then head out to the Asbury Park boardwalk tonight. Have A Good Season will be playing this week's installment of Asbury Park Live, right next to Mogo on the boards, with our good buddies in Yawn Mower.
