Steve Gunn

New York-based troubadour, guitar virtuoso and composer Steve Gunn is one of the most distinctive voices of the contemporary singer-songwriter scene in the states. Over the past two decades, Gunn has released numerous solo and collaborative records on labels such as Matador and RVNG, worked with Kurt Vile, Mike Cooper, David Moore or Meg Baird, been a part of the experimental band GHQ, the duo Gunn-Truscinski, and the newly formed project Beings (also featuring Shahzad Ismaily, Zoh Amba, and Jim White). Above all, he has built an extensive and vibrant discography drawing from American primitivism, psychedelic rock, folk, blues, free jazz, and lamonteesque drone.

Gunn's latest, sixth solo album Other You (Matador) got praised by UNCUT and Pitchfork among many others. A recent extension to the record is a collection of reinterpretations of the original tracks, recorded with a troupe of collaborators including Mdou Moctar, Natural Information Society, and Circuit des Yeux.
 

In subtle ways, this album ties together all of the various disciplines Gunn has previously explored, from American primitive guitar playing to jazz, folk, indie rock, and drone music. Yet it is also something entirely new with a unique sound that is a joy to spend time with. — UNCUT
