New Moon - Steve Gunn
from the album The Unseen In Between (2018) Steve Gunn is alternative folk rocker based in Brooklyn. He is best known as a guitarist for Kurt Vile's band, The Violators. In New Moon , a pre-release from his forthcoming album, he manages to create a soundscape that mashes up the 60s of folk sounds of Donovan with the early psychedelia of Jefferson Airplane, while still maintaining a sense of modern. The warmth of the acoustic guitar track, the clarion clarity of the bass, and an especially well-crafted arrangement set the stage for an outstanding vocal performance. I also dig the songs visual imagery centered around a trip outside of the city that swirls with surreal mentions of grinning ghosts and a place that no one seems to know.
