Multi-instrumentalist Jay Watson tours with Tame Impala. Compared to that band's IMAX-scaled productions, his latest solo record G**lamorous Damage is like the 8-bit, Nintendo video game adaptation of a blockbuster film—an offshoot that can’t possibly match the grandeur of its esteemed affiliate, but possesses a quirky charm all its own.
