Lee Hammond discovers a captivating record which spans genres
Matador
Released: 27.08.21
This record shows Steve Gunn in a new light, spanning genres and flowing freely with coherence, vibrancy and depth laced through it. Opening with the title track there’s something immediately captivating in Gunn’s composition, weaving a rich sonic tapestry that blends Americana with psychedelia. It builds from a gentle start but never loses its adept musical palette, packed with delicate nuance and beauty.
Gunn’s lyrics are paired perfectly with the soundscape, particularly on On The Way, where they rise up and shine against his musical brilliance. As the record comes to a close, instrumental Sugar Kiss compounds the exceptional musicality of Other You before the graceful Ever Feel That Way provides the perfect ending to an incredible record.
