Description
How does a questing psychedelic guitarist transform themselves into classic singer-songwriter? By compromising, in many cases. Brooklyns Steve Gunn, however, is managing the transition with uncanny elegance. Uncut
Steve Gunns music has always embraced expanse and movement, springing from the simple and profound relationship between humans and their environment. Eyes On The Lines, his Matador debut and follow-up to the pastoral and highly acclaimed Way Out Weather, is Gunns most explicit ode to the blissful uncertainty of adventure yet.
Accompanied by a full band Nathan Bowles (drums, banjo, organ), Hans Chew (wurlitzer), James Elkington (guitar, lap steel, dobro), Mary Lattimore (harp), Jason Meagher (bass, guitar, flute), Paul Sukeena (guitar), Justin Tripp (bass, keyboards), John Truscinski (drums) Eyes On The Lines presents Gunn embracing his urban surroundings through a series of songs that showcase his extraordinary ability to match inventive hooks to deftly constructed melodies full of personality.
Gunns songwriting on Eyes On The Lines tells vibrant and evocative tales through a series of both imagined and real life characters and moments but throughout he is more narrator than diarist.
LP format features deluxe tip-on sleeve and digital download code.
