The Glue of Everything is the latest full-length album from RUMTUM, a vibrant, sample-rich journey through memory, connection, and the beauty of being present. Built from fragments of old radios, walkie-talkies, VHS tapes, and family tape recordings, the album weaves nostalgic textures with modern production techniques to create a sound thatâs both warm and futuristic.
Rooted in instrumental hip-hop, experimental pop, and hazy downtempo, The Glue of Everything pulls from the spirit of artists like The Avalanches, Gorillaz, and Air, while carving out a unique space all its own. Funky basslines, dusty drums, and analog synths form the foundation, wrapped in playful, emotional, and at times surreal sonic storytelling.
This album is a celebration of family, friendship, and the invisible threads that hold it all together. Itâs RUMTUMâs most personal work to date, and a reminder to slow down, listen closely, and stay connected.
