Marking the start of his European tour today, and ahead of a run of UK headline shows in April, including London’s Oslo on April 5th, Steve Gunn today shares a new acoustic video for stand-out album single ‘Vagabond’. Filmed in London and made by The Mitcham Submarine, the sparse and haunting rendition highlights the song’s majestic fretwork and spellbinding lyrics, with their compassionate ode to the runaways, drifters, and vagabonds of our restless times. Watch the video HERE.
Gunn’s upcoming European tour follows a US run which also saw him playing on CBS This Morning and KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic. Several of the shows were opened by the first ever US performances of psych-folk legend Sachiko Kanenobu, the story of which and the meeting between the two artists documented in a New York Times article. An admired and in-demand collaborator, Gunn recently added further production credits to his name for Michael Chapman’s critically acclaimed new album, True North. He will also be performing a special soundtrack to Andy Warhol’s Kiss alongside Kim Gordon, Bill Nace and John Truscinski, at the opening of Gordon’s Lo-Fi Glamour exhibition on May 16th, at the Andy Warhol museum in Pittsburgh.
Over the past few years Steve Gunn has become one of American folk-rock’s most pivotal and regarded figures – conjuring immersive and psychedelic sonic landscapes live and on record, releasing a stream of lauded albums that have appeared in a multitude of ‘best of’ lists, and recording exploratory collaborations with artists including Mike Cooper, Hiss Golden Messenger, Kurt Vile and Michael Chapman. Written in the wake of his father’s passing, The Unseen In Between is Steve’s most accomplished and moving work to date, with sweeping and immersive songs showcasing his deft yet minimal guitar style to the backdrop of rich instrumentation, the lyrics meditative and mysterious yet intimate and poignant.
