Richard Gumby - Eat It.



Look no further! Here it pre-comes! It’s the much anticipated debut solo album from King Raunch: Richard Gumby! Gumby hit the scene in the short-lived band People Out Of Perspective (POOP) in the early 2000’s, churning out underground hits such as “I Know” and “The Michigan State Song”. When POOP proverbially fell apart, Gumby made it his mission to 'mind fuck'-up the public consciousness of the greater-Detroit area by making his “Anti-Raunchwagon Initiative" a reality.

After the release of many esteemed records on Gumby’s “Anti-Raunchwagon Records", there may be none finer than his own Eat It. The album plays as a greatest hits album in which "Dick G." beautifully bears the depths of his shark-ridden soul. Although the release of Gumby’s “Eat It.” happens to coincide with the mysterious emancipation of 30 four-year-olds from his Farmington Hills estate, there remains no point of contention in the brilliance of the songwriting craft and production quality of “Eat It.”



Whilst listening to this album, one is transported to a world entirely of Richard Gumby’s creation. This world entails an acute awareness of an overwhelming sadness that is combatted with a humor and hubris to lift one from the blackness. I especially recommend “Worth It Pt. 2,” “Creepy,” and “And Then I Saw Her beneath The Waves” (all on Disk 1)as a quick introduction to Gumby’s divine song craft, but for the overall satisfaction of this great album, one must completely immerse themselves in Eat It.
