Description
Way Out Weather completes Steve Gunns satisfying transformation into a mature songwriter, singer and bandleader of sublelty and authority. The critically acclaimed Time Off (2013), his first full-band album highlighting his vocals represented the culmination of Steves steady 15 year migration from the fringes of the guitar avant garde, where he is regarded as a prodigy, and towards his especial style of more traditionally informed songcraft. An enthusiastic and generous collaborator recently he has partnered with Kurt Vile, Michael Chapman, Mike Cooper, The Black Twig Pickers, Cian Nugent Gunns WOW band comprised longtime musical brothers Jason Meagher (bass, drones, engineering), Justin Tripp (bass, guitars, keys, production), and John Truscinski (drums), in addition to newcomers Nathan Bowles (drums, pianos, keys: Black Twig Pickers, Pelt); James Elkiington (guitar, lap steel, dobro: Freakwater, Jeff Tweedy); Mary Lattimore (harp, keys: Thurston Moore, Kurt Vile); and Jimmy Sei Tang (synths, electronics: Psychic Ills, Rhyton).A radical widescreen evolution, Way Out Weather is Steves career defining statement to date. 150g virgin vinyl edition with deluxe tip-on jacket and full colour inner sleeve. Includes download.
